The cause of my problem?

[LeeRS]

Is this what is causing the a big clunking noise when I'm coming to a stop or turning sometimes?
I also get a lot of judder in the car on tickover. I'm guessing this is why...

 

[LeeRS]

Sorry for bad video angles, was awkward pulling on the engine at the same time but you get the idea

 

[DrR]

Sounds like a robot wanking.

New mount is needed at a guess.

 

[LeeRS]

Haha, it does.
Took it to a garage and they done a few stress tests. They said they were fine and some movement is normal.
I'm still not convinced.

Get a vibra one mate, they are awesome!

 

[LeeRS]

A vibrating robot?...


vibratecnics I guess you mean. How much is it to change engine mounts @Dan@SJM @MicKPM

It takes about 5 minutes mate, jack under the engine with a block of wood, then 7 bolts and 1 nut iirc.

Mate, my drive is about as level as @ADS1982 s head.
Plus I don't have the tools here to do it.
I might have a couple of jobs done at the same time anyway with regards to other mounts / bushes.
Where abouts are you tom? Mobile version doesn't tell you location.

Not far from Pontefract mate.

Got any piccys of @ADS1982 head?

 

[car.crash]

Swap that out, it's duff.

 

[car.crash]

Or loose.

 

[LeeRS]

This is why I don't trust any mechanics other than on here.
I'm no mechanic and can hear it clunking, he said there was no clunk.
I showed him video. He said he cant hear anything. Dick.
Thinking of getting some of those vibra ones.
How many engine mounts are there, may as well change the lot.
Have got the dog one and top mounts already uprated.

No pics yet but I sure he will be along soon after tagging him. You will be able to imagine.

 

[car.crash]

Just get the standard ones for about £30
You don't need these updated ones.

 

[car.crash]

Have you tried to nip the bolts up?

 

[LeeRS]

No mate, I don't have any socket sets at home. Only got my diy tools here.
Have got some at works unit though. Can they just work loose then instead of completely shatting themselves?

 

[car.crash]

They shouldn't come loose but it's free to check before buying a new mount.

 

[LeeRS]

Ok, ill have a look at that.
I do get a lot of judder inside the car which you can visibly see from outside. Don't know if that is normal?
This is what made me check the mounts in the first place.
That, aswell as this clunk I'm getting sometimes when turning at low speeds or slowing down under load.
The clunk seems more ball joint relates to me although it did pass mot with nothing advised.

Dogbone original?

Fill all the mounts with silicone lol

 

[ADS_V6]

on a serious note mate,i 172 i had years ago had this and was an engine mount,might as well change them all,the uprated gearbox dogbone puts more stress on other mounts,esp if their weak.
And dont go posting those pictures i sent you of my head :smile:

If there is room between the rubber and the steel part, there is room for movement. This will most likely be the cause of the issue (it was in my case). Right side the old shot one.
