Hitting a big pot whole, or bump. Jamming on the breaks and not letting of the gas in an emergency stop situation. This would all involve inferior parts on the vehicle.
Chevrolet engine mounts are two-piece designs, whereby one piece attaches to the engine and the other to the frame. Motor mounts are fairly durable, but old mounts can break when subject to heavy acceleration. Fortunately, the engine does not have to be removed to remove the mounts.
One thing to check would be the engine mounts. The rubber tends to dry rot and break over time. If you are able to get the weight off of the mounts, they are easy to check. Junkyards throw them in the trash, so you're better off buying new.
Yes, the car is usually designed to do so. In a frontal crash, the vehicle's engine/motor mounts break so that the engine can drop to the ground and basically the car can move over top of the engine without it bypassing the firewall and injuring passengers.
Check the engine mounts. If the engine is not square it will brake them all the time.
Check for broken motor mounts.
You don't. These are sealed units and are not serviceable (nobody sells internal repair parts for them) . When they break, you remove and pitch them, then install a new regulator gearmotor assembly.
You replace the rear engine mount. By not replacing it, you are putting more stress on the other engine mounts and making them more likely to break. When They have broken, your engine falls and you lose it while you are driving down the highway and you wreck your car. An engine mount is easy to replace. that will restore the clearance needed for your gear shift to get back into reverse.
Yes, There would be no reason it wouldn't, They have the exact same body. I'd suggest replacing the engine and trans together, don't wanna put too much power to the v6 tranny (you might break it). You would just have to get the correct motor mounts, the v6 mounts won't work
There are two... The engine fusebox is under the hood where the red capped battery terminal is on the right hand side about 3/4 of the way towards the driver the body fusebox is in the center where the air comes out on your feet, you have to pop off the right hand panel to get to it and yes it feels like your going to break the thing
Cobalt's fracture refers to a type of fracture that occurs in metallic cobalt. It is characterized by a clean break in the metal with no deformation or twisting. This type of fracture is common in metals that are hard and brittle.
go to the parts store tell them you need an engine tilter. what you do is remove both motor mounts that attach to core support and to the engine . put car in neutral this is so you don,t damage the park pin or break it. hook the tilter up in place of the front motor mount . get the proper socket and ratchet tighten down you will see the engine move forward. these motor mounts are genarly know as dog bones cause they look like one .i hope this helps you out , the package should have diretions on it to help you. don,t forget to set the parking brake if the car is on a grade or have someone put the car in park after you tilt the engine
The 4.3 Chevy is a non-interference engine. This means the valves cannot hit the piston unless either the connecting rod or valve retainers break. This is highly unlikely if the chain is only broken due weakness or fatigue.
