Bro i have a 2012 and i saw a post where the guy removed the entire inverter and drain the battery coolant and all to get that mount out. seems like you didnt need to do that. i wonder if its different in older models?
I may have to do this for my 2014 Volt. I mostly notice shaking/thunking going over curb cuts or if I whip the steering wheel back and forth while driving about 15 mph...feels like a mass moving left and right and making hard metal to metal contact and I can feel it in the floor with my feet - very near to this mount. I get the popping sound, too.
Me too now. I have a 2015 volt how did u fix it. What was the actual diagnosis….. ima girl this stuff is over my head I can’t even explain to a mechanic
@@missmarycbell mine turned out to be a loose sway bar link. If your symptoms are the same as I described, suggest the sway bar link to the mechanic. It’s a very easy and quick fix. I could have tightened the link bolt myself, but I went down the motor mount rabbit hole. The simple things to check first are the sway bar links, ball joints, and shock mounts - all are part of the front suspension.
@@jedi_mapperp4073 I drove it out of state like that🤦🏽♀️ just now the mechanic said I would be fine hope so. I’ll check this when I get back hopefully it’s nothing one mechanic think it’s coming from inside the transmission
Is the transmission mount responsible for left and right looseness if you rock the engine with a bar? Do you remember? Vertically and back and forth my engine mounts are Rock Solid but there is a slight left to right Rock that one of them is loose
What led you to diagnosing that the mount was bad? After driving my 15 volt for a while on the highway then letting off the throttle engaging regenerative brakes I will feel a sudden shift in weight making a thud in what feels like the front end.
little late but that sounds like the bottom trans mount, i replaced mine and fixed that.. the one he fixed is pretty rough shaking and extremely noticeable on ice
