Parts for your 2023 Mitsubishi Asx-Engine mount

2023 Mitsubishi ASX — Engine Mounts

Yes, the 2023 Mitsubishi ASX is fitted with engine mounts. This is confirmed by technical references including the Mitsubishi Motors Service/Workshop Manual for ASX/RVR/Outlander Sport (engine and transaxle mounting section) and the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue, which lists right-hand engine mount insulator, left-hand/transmission mount, and front/rear torque mounts for 2023 ASX variants. Aftermarket parts catalogues for Australia and New Zealand also list replacement engine mounts specifically for the 2010–2023 ASX platform.

On the 2023 ASX, the engine mount system secures the engine and transaxle to the body while soaking up vibration and torque movement. Most mounts use rubber or a hydraulic (fluid-filled) core to isolate buzz and harshness, so the cabin stays quiet and the steering doesn’t shudder when taking off. The usual layout is a main right-hand engine insulator, a left-hand transmission mount, and front/rear torque mounts to manage fore–aft rocking under acceleration and braking.

There’s no regular “service” to perform on mounts, but they should be inspected during routine servicing, especially from about 60,000–90,000 kilometres or if there’s extra vibration at idle. Oil leaks, heat, and rough roads can age the rubber or cause hydraulic mounts to seep. If a mount is torn, collapsed, or leaking, replacement restores refinement and protects nearby hoses, exhaust flexes, and CVs from excessive movement.

• Common signs they’re tired: noticeable vibration in Drive at a standstill, clunks on take-off or gear changes, engine rocking when blipping the throttle, or visibly perished/cracked rubber.
• Best practice on replacement: support the engine/transaxle with a jack and block, replace the failed mount (and consider the opposing torque mate if wear is advanced), and torque fasteners to the workshop manual spec with the drivetrain at normal ride height.
• Choice of parts: genuine or quality OEM-equivalent mounts keep NVH close to factory. If the manual specifies any single-use bolts, replace them.

A technician will typically swap one mount in 1–2 hours, more if clearances are tight. No wheel alignment is required. After battery disconnection, the ASX may perform a brief idle re-learn, that’s normal. Keeping fluids off the mounts and fixing oil leaks early helps them last longer on Aussie and Kiwi roads.

Popular questions

How long do engine mounts last on a 2023 ASX?
In typical Australian and New Zealand conditions, many ASX mounts last 100,000–150,000 kilometres, but lifespan varies with heat, driving style, and road quality. Frequent stop–start, harsh launches, or fluid leaks can shorten their life.

What symptoms point to a bad mount on a 2023 ASX?
Expect increased vibration at idle in gear, a thump when shifting from Reverse to Drive, or a clunk on take-off. You might also notice the engine sitting lower on one side or see split rubber or fluid seepage on a hydraulic mount.

Can engine mounts be replaced at home?
It’s doable for a confident DIYer with axle stands, a jack and block to support the engine, and the correct torque specs. If access is tight or you don’t have the gear, a qualified mechanic is the safer, quicker bet.
