Classic symptoms

As the rubber cushion deteriorates the ability of Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) isolation goes away. The noise will increase to a "BUZZ" noise as everything gets worse. This is why they are made from rubber.

If you would like to experience true NVH, try a V8 american '60 vintage with solid mounts or a elephant ear mounts for a hemi application. You can even feel the alternator and water pump bearings spinning. The starter engagement feels like it is attached to your right leg.
