Replacing Engine Mount 2007-2017 Jeep Patriot
You may need to replace your vehicle's engine mounts if you notice excessive vibrations, particularly when idling or accelerating. The engine may shift or tilt when starting the car or revving the engine, and you might hear strange clunking or banging sounds, especially when shifting gears or accelerating. Additionally, if the car feels less stable or harder to control, especially during acceleration or turning, it could indicate worn engine mounts. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to have the mounts inspected and replaced.
