Replacement Engine Mounts - Several Quality Brands To Choose From!

One of the most common parts to deteriorate on the MINI are the engine mounts. The rubber that is contained within the mounts becomes old and brittle, and doesn't perform a good job of isolating the drivetrain from the rest of the chassis. This eventually can cause a whole host of problems and cause wear to other critical components. In the later MINIs (2004 on), they use a liquid filled engine mount on the passenger side that can leak and eventually collapse.
The R56 drivetrain (engine and transmission) is supported by a system of mounts. The engine rests on two engine mounts, one on the right and one at the bottom center near the engine oil pan. At the left side, the transmission rests on a mount, which is bolted to a support bracket.
When an engine mount begins to fail, you will feel more vibrations from the engine. The engine may sag in the engine bay or the engine may have excessive movement under torque if a mount is broken. When working under your vehicle, you may notice fluid leaking out of your engine mount(s). This means the mount has failed and should be replaced.
