Used Truck Engine Mounts & Motor Mount Brackets

Used truck engine & motor mounts for European HGVs

Engine and motor mounts are critical components on a heavy truck. They support the engine on the chassis, control vibration and keep driveline angles within the correct range so that shafts, gearboxes and exhaust systems are not overstressed. On modern European HGVs, rubber and hydraulic mounts are designed for a specific engine family, chassis layout and Euro emission class.

In this category we offer used OEM truck engine mounts and motor mount brackets removed from complete donor vehicles. Typical examples include front and rear engine mounts and gearbox support mounts for DAF XF/CF, MAN TGS/TGX, Volvo FH/FM and Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks, as well as mounts for other popular European lorry brands.

What you will find in the Motor Mounts category

Stock in the Motor Mounts category changes as new donor trucks arrive, but it typically includes:

• front engine mounts that locate the front of the engine block on the chassis crossmember;
• rear engine and gearbox mounts that support the flywheel housing or bellhousing and control driveline movement;
• hydraulic engine mounts used on later Euro 5 and Euro 6 trucks to improve comfort and vibration isolation;
• complete engine mounting brackets with bonded rubber bushes, where the metal bracket and mount are supplied together;
• auxiliary mounts for engine-related components such as PTO housings or support brackets where they are integrated with the main engine mounts;
• selected mounting bolts and hardware supplied together with the main mount when visible in the product photos.

Each listing includes clear photos, OE/OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details so you can compare the shape of the mount, bracket design, rubber hardness and fixing points with the mounts fitted to your own truck.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most motor mounts in this category are taken from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• DAF XF and CF tractors and rigids with PACCAR MX engines;
• MAN TGS and TGX long-haul, distribution and construction chassis;
• Mercedes-Benz Actros, Antos and Arocs with a range of engine sizes and chassis configurations;
• Volvo FH and FM long-distance and regional haulage vehicles;
• other brands such as Scania, Iveco and Renault Trucks when suitable donor vehicles are available.

Because these are genuine OEM components removed from complete trucks, each mount is normally matched to a specific engine family, chassis type and emission standard, which helps ensure the correct height, stiffness and bolt pattern for your vehicle.

Why truck engine mounts matter

Healthy engine and motor mounts are essential for:

• controlling vibration – worn mounts allow excessive engine movement and vibration in the cab, which can be uncomfortable for the driver;
• protecting driveline components – correct mounting height and stiffness help maintain propshaft and gearbox alignment, reducing stress on joints and bearings;
• protecting exhaust and cooling systems – excessive engine movement can crack exhaust flex joints, coolant hoses and intercooler pipework;
• meeting inspection standards – damaged or collapsed mounts can be flagged during safety inspections or annual tests.

Typical reasons to replace a truck motor mount

Common reasons to order parts from the Motor Mounts category include:

• visible cracking or separation of the rubber element from the metal bracket;
• collapsed or sagging mounts causing the engine to sit too low or contact other components;
• excessive vibration felt in the cab or chassis under load or at idle;
• oil contamination from engine leaks that has softened and damaged the rubber;
• accident or impact damage where mounts or brackets have been bent or torn away from the chassis;
• replacing non-original or incorrect mounts with the correct OEM engine mounts specified for your truck brand and chassis code.

How to choose the correct truck engine mount

To minimise fitting issues and ensure the right performance, please check the following details before ordering:

• truck brand, model and chassis type – for example DAF XF106, MAN TGX Euro 6, Mercedes Actros MP4, Volvo FH4;
• engine family and displacement – such as MX-11, MX-13, D26, OM471, D13, which often have specific mount designs;
• mount position – front vs rear engine mount, left vs right side, or gearbox support mount;
• bracket style and fixing points – number and position of bolt holes on the engine block and chassis crossmember;
• mount type – conventional rubber block vs hydraulic mount with fluid-filled chambers;
• OEM part numbers and casting numbers on your original mount or bracket, matched against the references shown in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of your existing mounts and brackets. Our team can help you confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy.

Used OEM mounts from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts sourced from carefully selected donor vehicles. Trucks are inspected and documented before dismantling so that engines, gearboxes, axles and chassis components can be assessed. During dismantling, our technicians remove engine and motor mounts, check the rubber elements and brackets for visible damage, and reject units that do not meet our standards. For more details on our process, please see Our Dismantling & Quality Process and Trucks We Dismantle.

Usable mounts are cleaned externally, labelled with OEM references where available and stored under cover in our warehouse and yard ready for dispatch.
