The engine mount is a critical component that secures the engine to the frame of the car. It helps to reduce vibration and noise, and it also helps to keep the engine in place during acceleration and deceleration.

Tips

• If you are having trouble removing the plastic stud, you can try using a penetrating oil. Spray the penetrating oil on the stud and let it sit for a few minutes. This will help to loosen the stud and make it easier to remove.
• Be careful not to overtighten the plastic stud. This can cause the stud to break.
