Vibration at idle and acceleration after hitting a deer

Post by **vtl** » 26 Mar 2021, 09:53

Didn't do anything with anything, just one bolt taken out.

2018 bushings should be still good.

How bad is the vibration anyways? These cars are not the smoothest in general.

It could of been longer I'm bad with remembering stuff like that I just have to check on the FCP site see when it was ordered.
I may have been before I broke my neck in 2013. Old people. .. smh....

I missed the vibration question .
As for the vibration I barely noticed anything yes the engine always had a little vibration if you put your hand on it but never felt it in the car or on the steering wheel until I hit the deer. I hit it pulled over walk back to check on the deer then looked at the damage which was minimal, broken clips that hold the plastic bumper trim Just under the hood in front of the radiator. When got back in the car started up noticed it immediately.

Almost sure it is a compromised rubber or shifted something.

I'll go with the bushing , I can definitely see the rear subframe bolts no signs that the subframe moved.

I just got caught up on this thread. Did you check the front or rear engine mount? When I changed my mounts I found the front one to be about 75% separated. I noticed a huge difference in the vibration after I changed those mounts. My separated mount was the one between the engine and radiator, sorry if I didn't go back far enough in the thread and you already checked that.

I checked FCP site I did replace all the mounts I got the Hutchinson kit, all five mounts along with subframe mounts, next a few weeks later new front struts,Springs and heavy duty upper,strut mounts.
All in 2016 August .
I can see and touch the front ,rear large mount to me they look firm, full,clean and no signs cracking. ... that's not say their not worn-out. Just replace the front passenger side mount.
While I had it off in disconnected the upper and trans mount gave it a few revs engine barely moved back and forth.

Maybe they all need to be replaced again I don't know.
For the amount I don't drive it's hard to believe they all wore out...
I'll try the subframe bushings 1st... its easier for me to lay on my back and work than look down into the engine.
Bad bad neck issues.

Thanks
