The mass-production, liquid-sealed engine mount has been changed to a real-rubber type, which offers a higher hardness without a need for shape modification. The hardness of the mount has been changed from 55 to 70, the spring constant from 6 to 14kgf/mm. As a result of these changes, it has been possible to realize a sharp steering characteristic; furthermore, it has also been possible to almost eliminate unpleasant vibration in the idling-speed range, where this is often a reason for concern.
