Engine Mounting with protective cap suitable for Mercedes-Benz. Perfectly functioning engine mountings are required for the safe fastening of the drivetrain in the engine compartment and they also ensure a comfortable ride thanks to optimal vibration damping. If the engine mounting is defective or worn, engine vibrations are not - or only partially - damped and are transmitted to the body instead. Unpleasant noises in the interior are the result. In extreme cases, a worn out engine mounting can no longer hold the engine in position sufficiently. If the engine then touches the body under load, this not only causes loud noises in the interior, it can also damage the engine attachments.
