Detailed Description

This Anchor 8948 engine mount is designed to support the engine at the front mounting location while helping isolate vibration and reduce harshness.

Common Problems It Can Help Address

• Excessive engine movement under acceleration or braking

• Clunking or knocking from a deteriorated front mount
• Misalignment caused by a collapsed or separated engine mount
• Premature stress on nearby drivetrain and exhaust components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front mount position and compare the original mount before installation. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct fasteners as needed. Inspect adjacent mounts, brackets, and engine support points for wear before completing the repair.
