Chevrolet Cavalier Motor Mounts

Driving on the open roadways can wear down all the parts and components that keep your Chevrolet Cavalier running smoothly and efficiently. Not only does this hold true for the rotating parts found deep within the core of your engine, but it also holds true for everything else including the motor mounts that hold it in place. If you have been noticing excessive amounts of movement in the steering wheel and pedals, louder-than-normal engine noise while idling, or the feeling of the engine moving back and forth when you accelerate and stop, it is probably time to replace your Chevrolet Cavalier motor mounts.

How are Chevrolet Cavalier motor mounts put together?

When picking and choosing between the different options of motor mounts available for your Chevrolet Cavalier, know that the basic structure of any of them is the same. They all have steel brackets that mount to the frame. In addition, motor mounts come with the piece that mounts to the engine as well as hardware that keeps the engine attached to the frame of your Chevrolet coupe.

  • Rubber motor mounts are by far the most common model out there. They are also the ones that came standard on your Cavalier from Chevrolet. At the point of connection is a hardened piece of rubber that separates metal-on-metal contact. The material dampens both vibration and noise in your Cavalier car.
  • Hydraulic mounts use a hollow chamber filled with glycol to absorb noise and vibration. They are used on smaller four- or six-cylinder engines that tend to jump around more in the frame.
  • Polyurethane motor mounts are harder than their rubber counterparts, which means more vibration and noise but also more power transfer down the driveline of your Chevrolet Cavalier. This is because when the engine has more freedom of movement as with other mounts, some of the energy that would otherwise be used by the car is absorbed.
  • Solid engine mounts are metal-on-metal. That is, they have no damper to mitigate noise or vibration. What they do offer is the least amount of engine movement. This means you will get maximum power transfer to the wheels of your Chevrolet Cavalier. These are great if your Chevrolet car is race-ready.
What are Chevrolet OEM and aftermarket motor mounts?

Once you have decided that you need to replace your motor mounts and what kind of mounts would be preferable for your Chevrolet Cavalier engine, the next step is to choose between original manufacturer equipment (OEM) and aftermarket parts. The former are made by Chevrolet and are designed with your Cavaliers engine and frame in mind. The latter option is produced by companies other than Chevrolet. While the quality of the motor mount is on the same level, they are not exclusive to the Cavalier. There are many different facets to go over between the two. As a Chevrolet Cavalier owner, you should shop and compare all the positive and negative points of all the motor mounts available before coming to a decision.
