Genuine Mercedes-Benz Engine & Transmission Mounts | Europarts360

The engine and transmission mounts work together as a three-point (or four-point) system to balance the drivetrain. If the engine mounts have collapsed, they place additional stress on the transmission mount. Replacing all mounts simultaneously ensures the entire drivetrain is correctly aligned and prevents the new mounts from wearing out prematurely.

Mercedes-Benz partners with premier German vibration-control specialists. When you purchase premium OEM mounts from Europarts360, you are getting components from Lemförder or Corteco—the exact same manufacturers that supply the "Genuine" parts to the Mercedes-Benz assembly line.

Yes, absolutely. A worn or collapsed transmission mount allows the gearbox to sit at an incorrect angle. This misalignment can cause "harsh shifting" or a jerking sensation, especially when the vehicle downshifts as you come to a stop. Replacing the mount often restores the smooth, seamless gear changes intended by the factory.

Most modern Mercedes-Benz models utilize "Hydro-mounts." These are filled with a specialized glycol fluid that allows the mount to be soft enough to absorb engine idle vibrations while remaining firm enough to manage engine movement during spirited driving. Once the internal seal fails and the fluid leaks out, the mount loses its damping ability.

Yes. Due to the placement of the front drive axles and the front differential, 4MATIC (All-Wheel Drive) models often utilize different mounting brackets and specific mount part numbers compared to Rear-Wheel Drive models. Always verify fitment using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Mercedes-Benz engines are balanced to specific frequencies. Cheap aftermarket mounts often use solid, low-grade rubber instead of hydraulic fluid. This results in "NVH" (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) being transferred directly into the cabin, making your luxury car feel like a much older, unrefined vehicle.

On average, they last between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. However, vehicles driven in extreme heat or those with high-torque engines (like AMG models) may see the mounts collapse as early as 50,000 miles.

On many models, particularly the C and E-Class, the engine must be slightly lifted using a jack or engine hoist to clear the mounting bolts. Due to the tight clearances around the steering rack and exhaust, many owners prefer to have these installed by a professional Mercedes-Benz specialist.

• Genuine Parts: These are the exact components installed at the factory, arriving in the original vehicle manufacturer’s branded packaging (e.g., Porsche or BMW).
• OEM Parts: These are produced by the same manufacturers that supply the car brands (e.g., Bosch, Brembo, Lemförder) but are sold in the supplier’s own packaging, often at a more competitive price.
• Aftermarket Parts: These are third-party components designed to meet or exceed original specifications.
