Description

Engine Mounts: Keep Your Mitsubishi Running Smooth, Kiwi-Style!
> Ever notice your Mitsubishi Lancer, Triton, or Mirage making a bit more noise or shaking more than it should? That's often your engine mounts sending out an SOS! These crucial bits are what hold your engine and gearbox firmly to the chassis, soaking up all those bumps and grinds from our varied Kiwi roads. Over time, especially with all the daily commutes and tough conditions, they can wear down, turning your smooth ride into a rattling mess.
What's Rattling Your Dags?
• Engine rocking and rolling more than a boat in a storm, especially when you hit the gas or brake.
• Feeling a buzz through the steering wheel, floor, or even your seat – like a constant hum.
• Hearing loud 'clunks' or 'bangs' when you change gears or go over those classic Kiwi potholes.
• Spotting cracks, tears, or just general wear and tear on the rubber bits of your engine mounts.
Will it pass WOF?
Absolutely not! If your engine mounts are knackered, your engine will be doing the haka under the bonnet. This can seriously mess with your steering and braking, making your ride unsafe and guaranteeing a WOF fail here in New Zealand. Get it sorted, mate!
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A bit more than a simple oil change, but totally doable for the keen DIYer)
Estimated Time: 2-4 hours (This can vary a fair bit depending on how tricky your specific mount is to get at)
Tools Required: You'll need your trusty jack and jack stands (safety first!), a good socket set, wrenches, a pry bar, a torque wrench, and possibly an engine hoist or support to hold things steady.
Bob's Expert Advice
Bob at CARFIX reckons if your engine mounts are shot, replacing them is a no-brainer. It's not just about getting rid of that annoying noise and vibration; it protects your other engine bits and the whole drivetrain from extra stress. KELPRO engine mounts are a top pick, built to OE specs for a snug fit and reliable performance. But hey, we know everyone's budget is different, so CARFIX stocks a fantastic range of quality engine parts from various brands. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn – he's always happy to help you figure out exactly what your Mitsubishi Lancer, Triton, or Mirage needs to get back to its best.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive into replacing those engine mounts, let's make sure you're set up for success and safety. You don't want to be caught out mid-job!
• Safety First, Always! Grab some sturdy Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean and protected. And don't forget your safety glasses – you never know what might drop! Remember, never get under a car supported only by a jack; always use proper jack stands.
• Loosen Up Those Stubborn Bolts: Old bolts can be a real pain. A good spray of Rust Penetrant a little while before you start can work wonders, helping those stubborn fasteners come free without a fight.
• Clean Up Like a Pro: Keep some Workshop Rags handy for any spills or to wipe down greasy hands. A clean workspace is a happy workspace!
• Engine Support is Key: If you're not using an engine hoist, make sure you've got a solid engine support bar or a sturdy piece of timber and a jack to take the engine's weight while you swap out the mounts. You don't want your engine dropping!
Fitment Notes
This part is a good fit for a range of Mitsubishi models, including specific years of the Lancer (1988-1996), Triton (1984-1986), and Mirage (1982-2012). Just double-check your specific vehicle's year, make, and model to ensure it's the perfect match. Happy wrenching!
