Parts for your 2014 Ford Falcon-Engine mount

2014 Ford Falcon engine-mount

An engine mount is absolutely relevant and fitted to the 2014 Ford Falcon (FG MkII and early FG X). This isn’t guesswork—Ford’s FG/FG X Falcon Workshop Manual (Section 303-01 Engine) shows dedicated left and right engine mounting on the 4.0‑litre inline‑six and V8 models, and Ford’s EPC/Microcat parts catalogue lists service part numbers for these mounts. Reputable aftermarket catalogues for Australian Falcons also list hydraulic rubber mounts for 2012–2016 models, confirming fitment.

On this Falcon, the engine mounts do three big jobs: they hold the engine in the correct position in the bay, isolate vibration so the cabin stays smooth, and absorb torque reactions when the driver takes off or changes gears. Most are hydraulic rubber mounts, tuned to keep the Barra six nice and calm at idle while still controlling movement under load. Turbo models can run hotter around the right-hand mount, which makes timely checks even more important.

For owners, engine-mount care is mostly about inspection and timely replacement. During regular servicing or if any symptoms pop up, a quick look and listen goes a long way. Tell‑tale signs include:

• Excess vibration at idle, especially in Drive with the air‑con on
• Clunks or shudder on take‑off, gear changes, or when lifting off the throttle
• Visible sagging, cracked rubber, or fluid seepage from a hydraulic mount
• Exhaust or intake contacting the body under load

As a rule of thumb, have the mounts inspected around the 100,000–150,000 km mark, sooner if the car tows, lives in hot conditions, or is an XR6 Turbo that’s seen spirited use. When it’s time to replace, quality matters—go genuine or a proven OEM‑equivalent. Replacing mounts in pairs helps keep engine height and alignment even. A competent technician will support the engine properly, follow the workshop torque settings, and check clearances for the exhaust, fan shroud, intercooler plumbing and steering components before handing back the keys.

If a mount is collapsing, it’s best not to put it off. Driving with a failed mount can stress the exhaust, hoses and driveline, and the extra vibration isn’t great for the rest of the car. The good news is that on a Falcon, mount replacement is a straightforward workshop job with the right support bar and a bit of patience under the bonnet.

Popular questions about 2014 Ford Falcon engine-mounts

How long do engine mounts typically last on a 2014 Falcon?
Many last well past 120,000 km, with some reaching 200,000 km. Heat, driving style, and whether it’s a turbo model all play a part. If the car idles roughly in Drive or thumps on take‑off, have them checked regardless of kilometres.

What’s the cost to replace engine mounts on a 2014 Falcon?
Parts and labour can vary by region and mount choice. Expect the job to take a few hours in a workshop. Using quality mounts saves money long‑term by restoring smoothness and protecting adjacent components.

Is it safe to keep driving with a worn engine mount?
It’ll usually still drive, but it’s not ideal. Excess movement can stress the exhaust, hoses and driveline and make the car unpleasant to live with. Avoid hard launches and get it booked in promptly.
