Weird Noise When Accelerating? It Could Be a Broken Engine Mount | Broken Arrow Auto Repair
If you’ve noticed a weird noise when accelerating, you’re not alone. Strange rattles, clunks, or vibrations during takeoff are common signs of deeper mechanical issues—and one of the most overlooked causes is a broken engine mount.
At T Autocare Takedown here in Broken Arrow, we recently inspected a BMW making strange noises and quickly found the problem: a worn-out, broken engine mount wobbling badly under load. Left unchecked, issues like these can cause serious engine or drivetrain damage.
Watch: Our Broken Arrow mechanic demonstrates a broken BMW engine mount causing noise and movement during acceleration.
Here’s what every Broken Arrow driver needs to know about engine mounts and when to get help from a mechanic near me.
What Does an Engine Mount Do?
Your engine mount plays a critical role by:
Securing the engine and transmission to the vehicle’s frame
Absorbing vibrations so you don’t feel them in the cabin
Aligning drivetrain angles for smooth acceleration
When a mount fails, it can’t hold the engine firmly in place. As a result, you’ll often hear knocking, thudding, or feel excessive vibration—especially when accelerating, shifting gears, or going over bumps.
Signs Your Engine Mount May Be Broken
Strange noise when accelerating or shifting
Noticeable engine movement or wobble
Increased vibration inside the cabin
“Clunk” or “bang” sounds when going over bumps
Misaligned exhaust or drivetrain components
In the case of the BMW we worked on, you could visibly move the engine by hand—something that should never happen!
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Bad Engine Mount
A failed engine mount isn’t just annoying—it can cause:
Damage to exhaust systems
Stress on axles, CV joints, and transmission mounts
Broken wiring or hoses from excessive engine movement
Misaligned belts and pulleys
At T Autocare Takedown, we recommend getting it checked out as soon as you hear or feel something abnormal. Early detection often means a simple, affordable fix instead of expensive damage down the line.
