Chery FX Engine Buffer Pad (Part No.: H16004-0500)
Let me keep it simple—this is your Chery FX’s "engine vibration absorber and component protector." It’s not just a simple rubber pad, you know? It’s a critical powertrain component installed between the
engine mounting bracket and the vehicle frame, designed to absorb and dampen the vibrations generated by the engine during operation, as well as the impact forces transmitted between the engine and the frame when the vehicle is driving on bumpy roads. Meanwhile, it ensures the stable operation of the universal transmission system and prevents the engine from moving forward and backward during acceleration or braking, avoiding damage to key components like the flywheel housing. Crafted from high-elasticity, high-temperature-resistant rubber combined with a metal skeleton, it’s precision-engineered to fit the Chery FX’s engine mounting structure perfectly—balancing excellent shock absorption performance, long-term durability, and reliable structural stability.
At its core, it has four key bits: a high-elasticity rubber body (absorbs vibrations and impacts effectively), a corrosion-resistant metal skeleton (provides structural support and ensures installation accuracy), pre-drilled mounting holes (matches the Chery FX’s engine bracket and frame mounting points), and a heat-resistant coating (adapts to the high-temperature environment of the engine compartment). Mounted at the connection between the engine and the frame, it acts as a "vibration buffer and force isolator": when the engine is running, it absorbs the high-frequency vibrations generated by the combustion of fuel and the operation of moving parts, reducing the transmission of vibrations to the vehicle body and improving ride comfort; when the vehicle passes through potholes, it buffers the impact force between the engine and the frame, protecting both the engine and the frame from damage.
Without this engine buffer pad, driving the Chery FX would be both uncomfortable and risky: the strong engine vibrations would be directly transmitted to the car body, causing obvious jitter and noise in the cab; the unstable engine position during acceleration and braking would lead to excessive wear or even cracking of components like the drive shaft and flywheel housing; in addition, the uneven transmission angle caused by the lack of effective buffering would lead to jitter and noise of the universal transmission system. Chery tailored the rubber hardness, thickness, and metal skeleton structure of this buffer pad to the power parameters and mounting dimensions of the FX’s engine—ensuring that it can accurately adjust the angle between the drive shafts to achieve constant velocity transmission, while maintaining stable shock absorption performance under long-term high-temperature and high-vibration conditions. A generic engine buffer pad? It’d either have insufficient elasticity (poor shock absorption effect), inadequate high-temperature resistance (easy aging and cracking), or mismatched thickness (affecting transmission stability)—ruining both ride comfort and component safety.
What It Fits (Exclusive to Chery FX)
This engine buffer pad is specifically designed for Chery FX models—incorrect fit will compromise transmission stability and component safety:
Fits: All Chery FX variants (matches the engine mounting bracket dimensions, bolt hole positions, and transmission system parameters; confirm via VIN to ensure compatibility with the vehicle’s specific engine configuration).
Won’t Fit:
Other Chery Models (e.g., Tiggo, Arrizo): Different engine mounting structures, dimensions, and transmission angle requirements—cannot be installed or function properly.
Non-Chery Vehicles: Even if similar in appearance, their engine weight, mounting points, and transmission system standards differ—no functional fit, and may cause damage to the powertrain.
Installation & Maintenance (Professional Recommended)
Installation: 15–25 Minutes (Requires Professional Tools & Experience)
Replacing this engine buffer pad requires precise adjustment of the engine position, so professional installation is recommended:
Prep: Park the Chery FX on a flat surface. Disconnect the car battery. Use a jack to properly support the engine (to avoid engine sagging during replacement).
Remove Old Buffer Pad: Unscrew the bolts connecting the old buffer pad to the engine bracket and frame. Gently remove the old buffer pad, taking note of its installation orientation.
Install New Buffer Pad: Align the H16004-0500 with the mounting points according to the original orientation. Tighten the fixing bolts to the specified torque. Ensure the buffer pad is evenly stressed and the engine position is correctly adjusted.
Test & Reassemble: Lower the jack, reconnect the battery. Start the engine and check for abnormal vibrations or noises. Test drive to verify the stability of the transmission system and the absence of abnormal sounds.
Brief Summary: Chery FX Engine Buffer Pad (H16004-0500)
A critical powertrain component for Chery FX, this engine buffer pad acts as an "engine vibration absorber and component protector." It absorbs engine operation vibrations and road impact forces to reduce cab noise and improve ride comfort, limits engine displacement during acceleration/braking to protect key components, and ensures stable constant velocity transmission of the universal system.
Key features include a high-elasticity rubber body with a corrosion-resistant metal skeleton, heat-resistant coating (adapts to 120°C engine compartment), and pre-drilled mounting holes for precise fit. Exclusive to all Chery FX variants; incompatible with other Chery models or non-Chery vehicles.
Professional installation takes 15–25 minutes. Maintenance requires semi-annual/10,000km inspections for aging/cracking and bolt tightness checks. Original parts guarantee reliable performance, avoiding aftermarket issues like poor shock absorption and structural instability.
