Anchor 301146 Engine Mount Kit

Engine Mount Kit Overview

Anchor 301146 is an engine mount kit for the Subaru Forester. It supports the engine and helps dampen vibration, making it a direct service part for restoring drivetrain stability and reducing harshness in the cabin.

Key Features

• Engine mount kit engineered to OEM standards.
• Uses natural and Styrene Butadiene rubber for abrasion resistance and aging stability.
• Rubber hardness is matched to vehicle application requirements.
• Chemlock bonding agent promotes a strong rubber-to-metal bond.
• Hydraulic mount design is used where OE application calls for added vibration control.

Detailed Description

Anchor 301146 is built for 1998-2002 Subaru Forester applications and is intended to restore proper engine support and vibration isolation. The kit is engineered with CAD/CAM processes for consistency, and the rubber components are formulated for durability and long service life. Where OE design uses hydraulic mounting, the assembly is built to manage higher vibration and torque loads while reducing noise transfer. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excess engine movement under load.
• Vibration transferred into the body or cabin.
• Noisy or worn engine mount operation.
• Drivetrain harshness during acceleration or shifting.
• Loss of stable engine support in Subaru Forester applications.

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1998-2002 Subaru Forester, N/A. Verify mount locations and compare the existing brackets and hardware before installation. Any included fasteners, if supplied in the kit, are hardened steel Grade 5 bolts. Confirm the replacement matches the original mount style and application requirements for the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Anchor manufactures this mount kit to OEM standards using controlled CAD/CAM engineering and application-specific rubber hardness specifications. The rubber-to-metal bond uses a Chemlock bonding agent for consistent construction quality.
