Engine Mount Overview

The SKP SKM8179 engine mount is a direct-fit replacement for rear mounting applications on select compact sedans. It is built for drivers looking to restore proper engine support and reduce movement in the drivetrain area.

Compatible with 1993-1997 Geo Prizm rear applications and 1993-1997 Toyota Corolla rear applications, this mount is a practical replacement for worn or damaged original parts. The SKM8179 part number is also useful when cross-checking replacement options for the same application.

Key Features

• Replacement engine mount for rear mounting locations.
• Direct-fit application for select Geo Prizm and Toyota Corolla models.
• Helps restore stable engine positioning after wear-related failure.
• SKM8179 part number for accurate catalog matching.

Detailed Description

The SKP SKM8179 is an engine mount for 1993-1997 Geo Prizm and 1993-1997 Toyota Corolla rear applications. Engine mounts isolate drivetrain movement and secure the engine in place, so a worn mount can contribute to vibration, shifting, or clunking during acceleration and deceleration. Replacing the mount with the correct SKM8179 unit helps return the mounting system to proper function.

This part cross-references Anchor 8179 and Marmon Ride Control A6242 for the same application. When ordering for a Toyota Corolla or Geo Prizm, verify the rear mounting position and compare the original part number before installation.

What It Is Used For

• Excessive engine vibration felt in the cabin.
• Clunking or shifting noises during load changes.
• Visible cracking or separation in the mount material.
• Engine movement caused by a failed rear mount.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the rear position and match the vehicle application before installation. Inspect adjacent mounts and related brackets for wear, since a damaged support component can affect overall drivetrain alignment. Compare the original mount shape and mounting points to the SKM8179 before final fitment.
