ENGINE MOUNTING
DESCRIPTION
The engine mounting system consists of a four-point system utilizing two load-carrying mounts and two torque controlling mounts. The load-carrying mounts are located on each frame rail. The right and left mounts are hydro-elastic mounts. The two torque controlling mounts are attached to a fore/aft member and the front and rear of the engine.
OPERATION
The four-point engine mounting system minimizes the transmission of structure-borne engine noise to the passenger compartment. The load-carrying right and left mounts dampen and isolate vertical motion and vibration. The front and rear mount absorb torque reaction forces and torsional vibrations.
