Hi,
Someone asked about shaking at idle =
and bad
motor mounts. My '90 Carat has a motor that seemed to rock too =
much at
idle. It also produced an annoying squeak. Well, my =
mechanic, who
had to drop the engine to replace the main seal, said the motor mounts =
were
fine. The very bad vibration was because one of the spark plug =
wires was
bad, and I was basically on three cylinders. Now, it is a lot =
smoother,
but it still shakes more than I think it should -- and it still has that =
annoying squeak. In the morning, when I first start it up, is =
sounds like
it is shaking so much that it is knocking. Anyway, it seems =
perfectly
smooth under load and at cruising speed. Does that mean the motor =
mounts
really are fine, and that I am paranoid? I would assume that bad =
motor
mounts would rock you to death at highway speeds.
Thanks,
Michael Townsend
