1978 to 1980 W116 300SD Motor and Transmission Mount Set

Store > W116 > Engine Products
Old tired rubber mounts are one of the biggest causes of excessive engine vibration and shake AND noise if they are totally collapsed

On the average W116 300SD nine out of ten times we find these mounts rotten, soft, or collapsed. It is often just due to the age of the rubber.  Have you noticed your engine is shaking more at idle? Maybe you are noticing new vibrations that were not there before. You may have also noticed the engine makes some clunking noise when you shut it off. When was the last time your rubber motor mounts were changed? Diesel engines are especially hard on rubber mounts because of the excessive vibrations associated with the type of engine. WARNING: If oil or diesel fuel gets on them they can deteriorate very rapidly. If they have not been changed in the last 8 years then they most likely should be.

Removing the front rubber engine mounts requires getting under the car and going up inside a hole in the subframe to remove the main bolt. And it can be a bear! I don't know who they hired to tighten these at the factory, but he must have been a brute.
