On a bad motor mount or even a good one. The torque of the engine under load will pull the engine over a little more I suspect. I was just thinking that it might be possible to slide a short steel sleeve over the line and fix it in place. When installing a new hose. Then if a belt ever rubs the hose would more likely survive the event.


Because of current quality concerns at least any replacement motor mount should be filled as another poster suggested. Then it cannot collapse. Some of the aftermarket parts if not many are highly suspect now.


It was really fortunate this poster looked under the hood that day. There are also firms that rebuild motor mounts. Perhaps they equal original quality.
