Defects and Damage
How is a collapsed or broken engine mount identified?
A collapsed mount announces itself through alignment: the engine settles, the coupling goes out of line and vibration increases. Mounts are therefore assessed together with shaft alignment rather than on their own.
Why it works this way
Cracking, oil softening and height differences are looked for in the rubber, and alignment is measured with feeler gauges so the finding becomes a number rather than an impression.
