Geo Engine Mount

A good-looking Geo Spectrum or a Geo Ranger is not good at all if it keeps on vibrating even on a stop mode. Likewise, as you accelerate the engine starts to clunk and shudder. It’s disgusting, isn’t it? You tried to figure out the problem by inspecting the parts under the hood but it seems nothing looks out of place. Probably, you have overlooked your Geo engine mount.

A Geo engine mount is a flexible support for the engine in which an elastic medium, usually rubber, is interposed between the lugs on the engine and the frame of the vehicle. Modern engine mounts like the one installed in your Geo vehicle are well-engineered to have specific shapes, rubber hardness and air gaps that tune the mount to the engine. The engine mount at the front end of the engine of transverse-engined models has the biggest task to do since it reacts to both vertical and fore-aft shake.

Engine mounts with hydraulic chambers are circular with a metal shell and is filled with silicone fluid. Hydraulic engine mounts are used to reduce engine vibration and noise. However, hydraulic engine mounts are most likely to have leaks internally and externally due to cracks in its rubber surface. There are also engine mounts that are electronically-controlled used to dampen the shaking produced by the powertrain. An electronic-engine mount is a hydraulic mount with two fluid chambers connected by a large orifice and a small orifice.

The excessive pulling up and down of your Geo engine mount makes it vulnerable to damage. Probably if your Geo engine mount is already worn out due to long usage, the shaking and clunking of your Geo vehicle will start to be felt. Geo engine mount failure can also be due to twisted out shape or serious cracks on it. The only fix to an all rubber design engine mount once it becomes defective, is a replacement.
