• Six mounting holes with 16 mm mounting hole diameter
• Uncoated finish and silver housing color

Detailed Description

Anchor 3635 is engineered for the front left engine mount location on the Ford Explorer. This hydraulic mount uses a rubber and steel construction to isolate vibration while supporting engine weight and controlling movement during acceleration, braking, and shifting. The design follows OEM standards and uses CAD/CAM-based engineering for consistent fit and repeatable quality. Anchor 3635 also uses natural and Styrene Butadiene rubber for abrasion resistance and aging stability, along with a Chemlock bonding agent to improve the rubber-to-metal bond.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., C20046, L1MZ6038Q) for the same application. Anchor 3635 is a direct-fit service part for Ford Explorer front left engine mount replacement needs.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Excess engine vibration felt in the cabin
• Clunking or shifting during acceleration and deceleration
• Visible cracking or separation in the original mount
• Engine movement caused by worn hydraulic mount fluid or rubber
• Noise transfer from the drivetrain into the body structure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front left position and confirm vehicle application before installation. Inspect adjacent brackets and mounting points for wear, corrosion, or damage before replacing the mount. Because mounting hardware is not listed as included, reuse or source the correct fasteners as needed for the vehicle. Proper alignment of the engine and mount bracket is important to avoid preload and premature wear.

Quality Assurance

Anchor designs this mount to OEM standards using controlled rubber hardness specifications for the application. The hydraulic construction is intended for higher vibration and torque conditions, and the steel hardware interface is engineered for durability in service.
