MasterPro A2396 Engine Torque Strut Mount - Front or Rear

Engine Torque Strut Mount for GM Front Applications

MasterPro MRC Mounts A2396 is a standard replacement engine torque strut mount built for front-mounted applications across a wide range of GM vehicles. It uses rubber bushings and a solid mount design to help control engine movement and maintain driveline alignment in everyday driving.

Detailed Product Overview

MasterPro A2396 is an engine torque strut mount used to help stabilize the engine under load and reduce excessive fore-and-aft movement. This matters on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Lumina APV and Lumina Van, Oldsmobile Silhouette, Pontiac Trans Sport, and Buick Century, where drivetrain control is important for smooth operation and consistent shifting feel. The rubber bushing design supports a service-style replacement for worn or deteriorated mounts.

This part cross-references Anchor 2396 and Westar EM-2396 for the same application. The A2396 part number is also associated with multiple General Motors service numbers, making it a practical reference when matching an OE-style replacement for older GM platforms.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive engine rocking during acceleration or deceleration
• Clunking or thumping noises from worn torque strut hardware
• Vibration transferred through the drivetrain from deteriorated bushings
• Misalignment caused by a weakened engine mount
• Reduced stability in front or rear mount locations listed for the vehicle

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and mount position before installation. This part uses bushing ends and does not include mounting hardware, so reuse or replacement of related fasteners should be confirmed during service. Inspect adjacent mounts and brackets for wear, since a failed torque strut mount can place added stress on nearby components.
