Won't drop off. There is a metal screw going through the middle of the mounting. If the rubber all gone then metal hit metal....by that time vibrate and noisy like anything..... smile_big.gif

for car without cross member...very possible and very likely because...there is still at least one mounting at the top....near the belting...i dont think this single mount can support the weight of the engine smile_big.gif

Even my old wira have 4 mountings. Front, back at the bottom, and left, right on the top. No way can drop out....
Wonder what mounting the Latio have?

S/S radiator ? why ppll dont use s/s radiator ? as it had disadvantages on weight & heat dispense .. beside the durability.


I believe weight is the issue since the normal rad use fiber. SS rad dunno can service o not...?
Look up, look down, look left & right.. but dun forget to look at urself.

Got thud sound, probably mounting broken/squashed already. Engine now sitting lower and near sub frame, when change gear to accelerate, engine movement hit sub frame.
When turning steering at still, means not moving? If yes, then not drive shaft. Damaged drive shaft will have sound, when doing full turn left or right depending which is damaged?
Radiator have both fiber and metal cover and both can be serviced.....


Drive shaft-will let mechanic check

That's No way that modern day car engine can be drop with just the broken mounting... as the modern design car will have front sub frame that holding up the whole engine assembly, like others had said there are many engine/gear box mounting points that holding up the respective engine components and all this mounts is either support on the sub frame or body parts.

if one or more engine mounting are broken, you will straight away notice your car are in heavy vibration as the engine are already in-balance position and the operation engine/gear box will contact with chassis & transmits the heavy vibration to chassis and you will definatelly dont want to drive your car in this condition.. so how can a driver can drive his/her car until the engine drop off from the car that drivers is not aware the car is in bad condition.... the only situation that i can think off is the driver encounter the accident until the car engine drop off with greate impact.
