Ford Contour Motor Mounts & Mounting Hardware

Introduced in 1995 and produced until 2000, the Ford Contour is a mid-size sedan designed by Ford's European division. On the European market, this car was known as the first-gen Ford Mondeo. Besides a modern design and other qualities, the Contour featured good handling and comfort in the cabin. Such a balance was achieved with the help of a properly tuned suspension and the efficient action of motor mounts. Of course, it's not meant for racing, as the Contour is a nice family car for use primarily in a city, but the suspension's characteristics and firmness of the motor mounts are fully adequate for their tasks.

Actually, motor mounts are much more than simple supports for the engine. They are usually made of a structural metal part coupled with a rubber component, where the former keeps the engine in place while the latter absorbs a large part of the vibrations produced by the motor. However, working under high loads and temperature oscillations makes rubber deform and crack over time. The mounts can serve up to 100,000 miles depending on different factors, but when any of them fails, vibration starts to affect your comfort and various electronic components.
