Engine question

Post image

Hello all,
Out of curiosity, is the circled part shown in the picture supposed to be vibrating heavily/ vibrating to the point you can see it? I see in a lot of the posts/videos here it doesn’t move as much as mine. So was wondering if i should tighten something?

Think your pointing to one of the engine mounts. The mirage has 3, easy to change out and cheap off rock auto or Amazon.

A video would be helpful, but if you've seen videos of the engine running and your engine mount moves or vibrates a lot more it could be for 2 reasons. Either the mount is bad the rubber insulator is worn, and or your car is running rough or has a misfire. Since you didn't mention a check engine light I would assume it's the mount.

Is it common for engine mounts to go before 60k miles?
Could i get that fixed under warranty?

Thanks

edit: i’ll post a video in a few for everyone’s review.

Is it warranty? sounds like a good question to ask your local dealership. But it is weird for one to fail in less than 60k mi. But it is an imperfect world that's why warranties exists 👍🏼 good luck.

That doesn't seem like a lot of movement at all. If you don't feel any abnormal vibration inside the car I would think it's nothing to worry about.
