Replacing engine mounts for a VAZ 2110 8 valves with your own hands

Tolyatti "tens" were equipped with engine mounts of good quality. The average service life before repair could be 100-150 thousand km. Today, these cars have several times more mileage and some still have their original bearings. The main thing is that the importance of the functionality of damper parts is underestimated by car owners. As a result, replacing the VAZ 2110 engine mounts has been shelved. Some drivers don't realize that in addition to discomfort from vibration, damage to the transmission can be caused. And this will entail more serious expenses for repairs.

On a note! It is possible to replace the airbags with your own hands on a VAZ 2110 (engines with 16 and 8 valves) in 6 hours. The repair schemes are almost completely identical. The only difference is the number of parts. V-1.6 engines have 4 supports, instead of 3 on the simpler V-1.5 engine.

What is needed for repairs

First, you need to determine which support on the VAZ 2110 engine should be changed (if you do not want to change all the damper mounts at once). To do this, you need to do an independent inspection of these parts. Sometimes, the power plant seems to be tilted horizontally on one side or tilted along the central axis of the car. This is the first sign to replace the damper mounts.

Two cushions (side) secure the engine to the left and right side members in the engine compartment. And one (rear) fixes the motor to the bottom. Therefore, it is necessary to lift the machine on a lift or install it on a viewing hole. The wear is immediately visible. The rubber has tears and core failure. Depending on the result of visual diagnostics, you should purchase the required number of parts for installation.

You will need a tool. In most cases, a standard locksmith set consisting of open-end and box-end wrenches with heads will be sufficient. In addition, to replace engine mounts on a VAZ 2110 you will need a rolling jack and a pair of short boards. It is advisable to have electricity and a cutting machine with a disc, since you may have to cut off the mounting bolts.

Helpful information! A couple of hours before repairs, it is strongly recommended to apply universal lubricant “Liquid Key” to the threaded connections. Damper supports are changed very rarely, therefore, unscrewing them without prior preparation is quite difficult.

Replacing the left engine mount of a VAZ 2110

Place the car on a level and solid surface. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. Remove the crankcase protection. We place a jack under the engine, and use a piece of board (as a spacer) to lift the engine. The power plant is suspended in this way and the supports do not experience any load.

Next, we perform the following steps:

Unscrew the nut of the central stud (15 mm wrench);
unscrew the two fixing bolts of the protective cover (13mm wrench);
under the bracket, unscrew the 3 bolts that connect it to the spar (17 mm wrench);
then, we take out the worn-out pillow;
We replace the damper part with a new one and assemble the structure in the reverse order.

On a note! Spare parts from imported suspension manufacturers, such as: Lemferder, SWAG, RUVILLE, SKF, can provide high-quality and long-lasting performance.
If they are not in the store, they can be delivered to order.

Replacing the right engine mount of a VAZ 2110

Place the jack under the box. We hang the engine and remove the load from the cushion. Completely disconnect the battery and remove it (this will be more convenient).

Next, we move in the following sequence:

Unscrew the nut of the central stud (15 mm wrench);
Unscrew two bolts (13 mm wrench);
We take out the central pin (you will have to loosen the jack a little);
We take out the support bracket and replace the pillow with a new one;
We insert the new support into place and raise the engine;
We tighten the damper assembly with the bolts in the reverse order.

On a note! The support mounting areas on the side members may be in poor condition (rust). In order to extend their “life,” you should cover the damaged area with Movil immediately before installing the bracket.

Left support - removal and replacement

We drive the car into a pit or onto an overpass;
Remove the engine splash guard (protection);
We install a jack under the gearbox (it is better to place a small wooden block between the jack and the gearbox) and lift the box slightly, thereby freeing the left support;

Take a 15mm socket wrench with an extension and unscrew the support stud nut;

Remove the upper support stop;

We release the jack a little so that the box drops slightly and remove the support pin;

After this, using a 13mm socket wrench, you need to unscrew the 2 bolts that secure the support cushion to the body bracket;

Slightly move the cushion towards the engine and remove it;

Remove the lower support stop.

Installation of the new left support (cushion) must be done in the reverse order. To prevent the pin from turning, you need to make sure that its protrusions fit into the oval hole in the gearbox housing bracket.

Replacing the rear engine mount of a VAZ 2110

If, when dismantling/installing the left and right supports, the work was carried out in the engine compartment, then to remove the rear damper you will have to crawl under the car. It’s good if there is an inspection hole in the garage, since the ground clearance of the “ten” is quite low and it’s very difficult to crawl up on your belly.

The replacement process looks like this:

We install a jack under the box and hang the rear part of the engine;
Unscrew the two support nuts from the body (17 mm wrench);
Using 2 19 mm keys, unscrew the support mount from the gearbox;
We remove the support from the seats and take it out from under the car;
We take out the bolt and replace the damper with a new element (a vice may be needed);
We return the knot to its place and tighten it;
We lower the engine with a jack and install the crankcase protection.

Engine Mount Replacement Guide

If during operation of the car you experience body vibration at idle, then, first of all, you need to check the engine mounts. It is quite possible that they served their time.

In this article we will look at how to change the left and right mounts (mounts) of a VAZ 2110-2112 engine. To complete the work we will need the following:

Inspection pit or overpass;
Jack;
Socket wrench 15;
Socket wrench 13;
A little strength and patience)).

Features of replacing engine mounts with a 16-valve engine

The main difference in the mounting of the 16-valve engine is the absence of a rear lower support. The engine is attached with a rear support from above to the number plate of the body. Another additional damper bracket is located at the bottom front. It connects the motor and the lower beam of the radiator (TV) frame. These parts are called “guitar”. After hanging the engine with a jack, they change simply.

Design and purpose of tens engine mounts

Over the years, vast practical experience has been accumulated on the topic of how to change engine mounts on a VAZ 2110, and videos of repair processes can also be found in abundance. However, few people pay attention to the features of the part. And, it must be said, it is in vain, because such knowledge will help to accurately determine the source of vibration and purchase the necessary spare part for repair.

The main purpose of the engine support is to reduce the level of vibration transmitted from the power unit to the car body. The rubber-metal structure consists of a steel base with a thick rubber cushion. The device has proven itself well, since it is quite reliable and is worth the money.

The eight-valve Lada 2110 engines are attached to the body at three points: right, left and rear. The side supports connect the body to the engine block through through holes. The rear support is attached with two bolts to the gearbox, and two nuts to the body. The importance of this damper part is very significant - it prevents longitudinal vibrations of the internal combustion engine during braking and acceleration.

Alternative supports

Considering the long-standing problem of Samara and a dozen, the manufacturer immediately released a whole series of alternative pillows:

OJSC-BRT;
SS-20;
"Assomi".

Let's now consider their features:

The support of JSC-BRT and the peculiarity of its structure is contained in a hinged product, which replaced the bearing in this place. At first glance, it looks like a panacea, since the general principle of operation seems to be clear: the creators of this technical innovation used an element that has increased rigidity in the radial direction. At first glance, the sounds should disappear and the car should become silent on uneven roads, however, conflicting reviews from the motorists themselves do not allow us to completely agree with this fact.
An alternative to OAO-BRT is SS-20, where a steel bushing was installed in place of the standard bearing, which was completely welded into a rubber damper. The manufacturer of this new product claims that the SS-20 will completely eliminate the appearance of elevators and extraneous sounds. Moreover, the manufacturer directly promises that the SS-20 will be able to guarantee the classic behavior of the rocker (see Replacing the rocker on a VAZ 2110 on your own): regardless of the topography of the road surface, the lever will be stable and without extraneous sounds.
The developers of "Assomi" boldly claim that the use of a special prescription rubber mixture will completely smooth out all impacts and sound noise, thereby significantly increasing the overall level of comfort of the car.

So, you need to choose who to trust, because there are a huge number of manufacturers to choose from, who all guarantee the high quality of their products. And most importantly, they guarantee that they managed to create a universal high-tech product that is most effective from a practical point of view.

Note. But it’s not entirely clear why some manufacturers of backstage cushions use rubber ears that quickly break?

Practical Feature of Alternative Choice

Unfortunately, “Assomi” and SS-20 are quite difficult to find in local stores; in the future they will go on wide sale, however, it is impossible to answer exactly when this will happen. It all depends on the store owners. The motorist is mainly offered imported products, as well as from national manufacturers, but only standard ones. It should be objectively understood that the quality of imported products varies significantly in comparison with national standard factory models, as does the price. Therefore, if you are pressed for time, it is best to order your own national alternative via the Internet, which is much lower in price than its foreign counterpart, and the quality is almost identical.

When to change your pillow

Factors that indicate the need to replace the wing cushions:

extraneous sound during movement, the irradiation of which can even spread to the body of the vases;
traces of hardening or cracking of the rubber cushion are visible, as well as if it is separated from its metal base;
there is a pronounced increasing vibration that has not previously been observed;
in case of unsatisfactory backlash length, etc.

When should you change the power unit mounts on a VAZ 2110: signs and reasons

Before you change the engine mounts of a VAZ 2110 car and watch a video of this process, you need to study the signs that indicate a breakdown of the rubber-metal mounts. The main symptoms characterizing problems with damper units:

Vibrations transmitted to the steering wheel and pedal unit when idling.
Extraneous noise in the cabin when moving on an uneven surface.
A characteristic knocking sound in the engine compartment during acceleration and braking.

When drawing conclusions after your observations, you should not confuse vibrations on the steering wheel during braking, which are associated with defects in the brake discs or pads. To be more convincing, you need to open the hood and inspect the power unit supports. If you place your palm on a running internal combustion engine, you can feel changes in its operation.

Many years of experience in operating the Lada 2110 allows us to assert that the reasons for the failure of damper cushions are the following factors:

Deformation phenomena on the rubber support due to mechanical and temperature influences, as well as due to exhausted service life.
Cracking and delamination of rubber from exposure to chemically active components.
Loss of elasticity caused by temperature changes.

Premature failure of the damper support can be caused by the owner’s excessive enthusiasm for such extreme techniques as sudden starts and emergency braking. Suspension parts are already subject to serious stress while driving, and a sporty driving style further increases the risk of their failure.

According to rumors, on yours it will not give anything except vibration, on 2112 it will eliminate the twitching of the gearshift knob without increasing the vibration.

Listen to the grandmothers near the entrance, they will tell you this

A friend has it on 8v and is very pleased. I rode it before and after installation. The gearshift lever does not move when accelerating and braking the engine. When installing, the MG must be transferred to a separate bracket.

I removed the “guitars” at 16 v and installed 2 additional ones. supports one on a beam the other on stretching cups + rear from 8v

Happy as an elephant

According to rumors, on yours it will not give anything except vibration, on 2112 it will eliminate the twitching of the gearshift knob without increasing the vibration.

Actually, at 2112 it’s worth extra money. Or do you mean some other supports?

and why in 8th grade? With the addition of support should there be vibration?

I've highlighted why in blue. MAX_103, thank you.

Well, tell me about the rumors =)

An additional one at 8V must be installed

A week ago I also installed the 4th support. Engine 2111. I'm tired of the engine jerking when driving in first gear and when braking. Standardly, the 11th engine has 3 supports, and the 12th engine has 4. The impressions are mostly positive, the minus is that the vibration is a little noticeable at the time of starting and when the engine is cold. To reduce this, you need to not fully tighten the upper silent block. Positive points: the gearbox lever stays in place like a glove, speeds change more clearly. Finally, it’s comfortable to drive the first one, the jerking of the car has disappeared. Better engine braking. Pleased with the quality of workmanship

. Only the distance washer between the silent block and the box had to be shortened by 5 mm. In the photo above, for some reason I have a larger washer of the required size.

Mine were normal! Maybe you bought it at the market and they shoved the old ones into a set, and sold the new ones from the set
