The Pontiac Firebird Engine Mount secures the engine in place while absorbing vibrations for smooth driver control. The four mounts connect the engine with the chassis using a set of metal brackets. A thick rubber core separates these metal brackets that fulfill two functions. The first function is to cushion vibrations to stop them from reaching the body of the car. The second function is to keep all parts fixed in case of a collision. The earlier Pontiac Firebirds applied solid rubber units, but later trims applied hydraulic versions filled with fluid that can withstand greater vibrations without allowing the motor to wander. A relatively recent technology found on some vehicles relies on electronically controlled active mounts that remain soft and dampen vibrations at idle, then stiffen as rpm rises to control motion. All types of Engine Mount (passive, hydraulic, or active) will be exposed to heat, splash of oil, and age. As a result, rubber can comply or tear, hydraulic chambers can leak, and active systems can lose vacuum or e-command. Such Engine Mount failures can lead to clunks or harsh impact. If a Pontiac Firebird Engine Mount fails, vibration is transmitted to the cabin and other components may crack. Thus, replacing a worn Engine Mount will restore smoothness and the Pontiac Firebird drivetrain.
