Precision Performance Starts with a Solid Foundation
When you drive a luxury performance vehicle like the MASERATI GHIBLI or MASERATI QUATTROPORTE, every component under the hood plays a role in delivering that unmistakable Italian driving experience.
One often overlooked yet CRITICAL COMPONENT is the LEFT AND RIGHT MOTOR MOUNT—especially for the 3.0L V6 ENGINE found in many MODERN MASERATI MODELS in Southern California.
At LOS ANGELES INDEPENDENT MASERATI SERVICE CENTER in Glendale, Southern California, we specialize in DIAGNOSING & REPLACING worn motor mounts using OEM MASERATI PARTS to restore factory-level PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT.
What Does a Motor Mount Do in a Maserati?
Motor mounts are engineered to SECURE THE ENGINE TO THE CHASSIS while absorbing vibrations and engine movement. In high-performance vehicles like Maserati, mounts are often HYDRAULIC OR ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED, designed to balance comfort with aggressive power delivery.
For the 3.0L V6 engine (found in both Ghibli and Quattroporte RWD), motor mounts:
STABILIZE ENGINE POSITION during acceleration and braking
REDUCED VIBRATION TRANSFERRED into the cabin
PROTECT DRIVETRAIN COMPONENTS from excessive movement
MAINTAIN PROPER ALIGNMENT of engine and transmission
Signs Your Maserati Motor Mounts Need Replacement
Ignoring worn motor mounts can lead to EXPENSIVE SECONDARY DAMAGE. Watch for these warning signs:
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL OR CABIN
CLUNKING OR KNOCKING SOUNDS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS
ENGINE MOVEMENT WHEN ACCELERATING
ROUGH IDLE OR INCREASED ENGINE NOISE
VISIBLE WEAR OR LEAKING (for hydraulic mounts)
If you’re experiencing any of these in your MASERATI LEVANTE, GHIBLI, QUATTROPORTE, it’s time for a PROFESSIONAL INSPECTION AT LOS ANGELES INDEPENDENT MASERATI SERVICE CENTER in Glendale, Southern California.
Why OEM Motor Mounts Matter for Maserati Ghibli, Quattroporte, and All Maserati Models
At our shop, we exclusively use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) MASERATI MOTOR MOUNTS—not aftermarket substitutes.
Benefits of OEM Maserati Motor Mounts:
EXACT FIT AND ENGINEERING SPECIFIC to Maserati performance
DESIGNED FOR PROPER VIBRATION damping and engine balance
LONGER LIFESPAN COMPARED TO GENERIC aftermarket options
MAINTAINS FACTORY RIDE QUALITY AND HANDLING
PREVENTS PREMATURE WEAR on adjacent components
Maserati engineering is PRECISE—cutting corners on parts can COMPROMISE THE ENTIRE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
Manufacturer Recommendations and Maintenance Intervals
.While Maserati does not always specify a fixed replacement interval for motor mounts, they RECOMMEND INSPECTION DURING ROUTINE SERVICE INTERVALS, especially after:
50,000–75,000 MILES
NOTICEABLE VIBRATION OR DRIVABILITY ISSUES
AGGRESSIVE DURING CONDITIONS
ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION SERVICE
Proactive replacement can prevent COSTLY DRIVETRAIN DAMAGE and PRESERVE THE REFINED RIDE Maserati owners expect.
Maseratis We Service — Motor Mount Service Differences by Model
Not all MASERATIS are engineered the same—and that’s especially true when it comes to MOTOR MOUNT DESIGN, ACCESSIBILITY, and REPLACEMENT COMPLEXITY. Below is a deeper look at each model we service and how motor mount servicing differs, so you understand exactly what your vehicle requires.
MASERATI GHIBLI - 3.0L V6 TWIN TURBO (RWD/AWD)
The Ghibli uses HYDRAULIC MOTOR MOUNTS designed to balance performance with daily driving comfort.
SERVICE NOTES:
MODERATE LABOR COMPLEXITY
COMMON WEAR DUE TO DAILY DRIVING AND STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC
SYMPTOMS OFTEN INCLUDE CABIN VIBRATION AND IDLE
WHY IT MATTERS:
Timely replacement restores the smooth, refined ride expected from a luxury sports sedan.
MASERATI QUATTROPORTE - 3.0L V6 & 3.8L V8 OPTIONS
The Quattroporte features more REFINED DAMPING MOTOR MOUNTS to support its executive-level comfort.
SERVICE NOTES:
SLIGHTLY MORE COMPLEX DUE TO LARGER ENGINE BAY LAYOUT
MOUNTS ARE TURNED FOR ULTRA-SMOOTH RIDE QUALITY
FAILURE IS MORE NOTICEABLE IN CABIN COMFORT THAN PERFORMANCE
WHY IT MATTERS:
Worn mounts compromise the flagship-level luxury experience Maserati is known for.
MASERATI LEVANTE - 3.0L V6 / 3.8L V8 TWIN TURBO
As an SUV, the Levante’s motor mounts are built to handle HIGHER TORQUE LOADS AND VEHICLE WEIGHT.
SERVICE NOTES:
HEAVIER-DUTY MOUNTS COMPARED TO SEDANS
MORE STRAIN DUE TO AWD SYSTEM AND WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
REQUIRES CAREFUL CALIBRATION AFTER REPLACEMENT
WHY IT MATTERS:
Failing mounts can affect drivetrain alignment and overall ride stability.
MASERATI GRANTURISMO - 4.2L / 4.7L NATURALLY ASPIRATED V8

SERVICE NOTES:
MOUNTS ARE STIFFER FOR PERFORMANCE DRIVING
ENGINE BAY IS TIGHTER, INCREASING LABOR TIME
HEAT EXPOSURE FROM 8 CAN ACCELERATE WEAR
WHY IT MATTERS:
Degraded mounts reduce throttle response feel and driving precision.
MASERATI GRANCABRIO - 4.7L V8 CONVERTIBLE PLATFORM
Similar to the GranTurismo but with ADDITIONAL CHASSIS REINFORCEMENT.
SERVICE NOTES:
INCREASED CHASSIS FLEX MEANS MOUNTS PLAY A BIGGER ROLE IN STABILITY
SLIGHTLY MORE LABOW DUE TO STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCES
VIBRATION ISSUES ARE MORE NOTICEABLE IN ONE-TOP-DRIVING
WHY IT MATTER:
Proper mounts maintain both comfort and structural balance in a convertible platform.
MASERATI MC20 - 3.0L NETTUNO V6 TWIN-TURBO
The MC20 features RACE INSPIRED, HIGH-PERFORMANCE MOUNTS engineered for precision.

LESS FREQUENT FAILURE BUT MORE TECHNICAL SERVICE
WHY IT MATTERS:

Why Model-Specific Expertise Matters
Motor mount replacement is NOT A "ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL" SERVICE—especially for Maserati. Each model requires:
MODEL-SPECIFIC OEM PARTS
PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
ENGINE SUPPORT AND ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
POST-INSTALLATION INSPECTION AND CALIBRATION
At LOS ANGELES INDEPENDENT MASERATI SERVICE CENTER, we understand these nuances across every Maserati platform—ensuring your vehicle gets PRECISION-LEVELED CARE TAILORED TO ITS ENGINEERING.
