Motor mounts are designed to isolate the engine and transmission vibrations from the rest of the vehicle. When they become worn or damaged, they can allow these vibrations to be transmitted to the steering wheel, causing it to vibrate.
In addition to causing the steering wheel to vibrate, bad motor mounts can also cause other problems, such as:
- Engine knocking
- Transmission shuddering
- Increased noise and vibration
- Difficulty shifting gears
- Reduced fuel efficiency
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to have your motor mounts inspected as soon as possible.
