Would 2 missing front motor mounts, cause a car to shake only when turning?


My car 94' Del Sol si

B16A motor



THANK YOU

DRAMA

With stock motor mounts used on the sides and rear, yes it'll vibrate more but it's still driveable. With stock motor mounts, the rubber inserts will tear faster w/out the front mounts.

If you don't want to run the front mounts, at least get the ES urethane inserts that you can put into the stock remaining mounts. The car will vibrate more but the engine will not move.

Its kidna strange.. im trying to diagnose why my car shakes only when i accelerate through a turn.. my first thought were the cv joints.. but just had them checked and they boots and axeles appear fine. So i thought it may be the engine knocking around when i turn.. because of the missing motor mounts.

the front mounts your referring to are called torque mounts and are mainly there to stabilize the motor from front to back. without them the motor could be torquing back enough under acceleration that it causes a vibration but i think there is probably some other problem

oh ok.. I will probably cave and take it to the local Honda Dealer and let them have a look.

thanks for the help.
