    Default Engine mount

    I have noticed when slightly revving the engine on my VZ V6 with your foot on the brake pedal you can feel the left hand side (passenger side) engine mount thudding up and down.Is this normal as I have heard the VZ has soft flexing engine mounts fitted.

    Shouldn't break that soon, I,ve heard they can last years and years on. Heck, mine is 11 years old and still not need replacement yet but soon.
