What is the purpose/function of this part?

Unread post by atr »

Hi
This part is a part of the upper engine support (right side) of the C5. as you well know, it is located above the engine support, connected to the vehicle's body. I assume that its function is to dampen possible fore and aft movement of the engine. please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanx.
Avi

Yep, in addition its to damp fore and aft movement of the engine allowing the mountings to be softer.

Check also the one under the engine. That one is more affected by the fore and aft movement of the engine.
