Changan Eado Front Engine Cushion – Part No.: 1001040-B06
Let’s keep it simple—this isn’t just a “soft pad” at the front of your Changan Eado’s engine. It’s the **key shock-absorbing and load-bearing component for the engine’s front end**: a durable, precision-molded part made of rubber-metal composite (a flexible rubber core reinforced with embedded steel plates). Mounted between the Eado’s engine front block and the chassis frame, it acts as a “soft buffer” for the engine’s front-side vibrations and weight. Think of it as the “engine’s ‘front shock absorber’”: without it, the engine’s front vibrations would rattle the cabin violently, strain the rear engine mounts, and even damage nearby parts like the radiator or front drive shaft.
This front engine cushion is exclusive to Changan Eado—always check your vehicle’s VIN to confirm fitment! It’s tailored to the Eado’s specs: its thickness and rubber hardness match the Eado engine’s front weight (around 80–100kg, depending on the variant) and vibration frequency (no flattening or over-deformation), its mounting holes align perfectly with the Eado’s engine front block and chassis brackets (no forced adjustments), and its heat resistance handles the engine bay’s high temperatures (up to 120°C). Grab a generic front engine cushion instead? You’ll run into trouble: wrong hardness (can’t absorb front vibrations), mismatched size (can’t install), or weak material (breaks under the engine’s front weight).
As a vital part of the Eado’s engine system, it does three key jobs to keep driving smooth and the engine safe:
Reduce engine front vibrations: When the Eado’s engine runs, its front moving parts (like the crankshaft pulley or timing belt cover) generate intense vibrations. The cushion’s rubber core deforms gently to “mop up” these front-focused shakes, stopping them from spreading to the chassis and cabin—this means less buzzing from the dashboard and steering wheel, especially at idle or low-speed driving.
Bear the engine’s front weight: The Eado’s engine is primarily supported by this front cushion—it carries most of the engine’s front-end weight, keeping the engine horizontally balanced (no tilting backward when accelerating or forward when braking). This stable positioning ensures smooth power transfer to the transmission and reduces stress on the rear engine mounts.
Protect front-end components: By cushioning the engine’s small front movements (caused by road bumps or engine torque), it reduces friction and impact on nearby front parts like the radiator, water pipes, and front drive shaft. This avoids scratches, loosening, or leaks that could lead to engine overheating or power loss.

This 1001040-B06 front engine cushion is
only for Changan Eado—if you put it on the wrong car, it either won’t work
right or could even cause damage.
Other Changan models (like CS35, UNI-T, or Eado PLUS): These have different engine sizes, chassis designs, and front engine bolt patterns—so the cushion can’t be installed properly or support the engine.
Non-Changan cars: Even if it looks similar, the front engine weight and mounting specs are totally different—so it won’t work at all.
Eado with modified engines: If you’ve swapped the engine or upgraded it (like adding a turbo), the front weight and balance change. The original cushion can’t keep up, leading to extra vibration up front or damage.
Changing out this front cushion means you have to support the front part of the engine—so it’s best to let pros do it to avoid problems. Here’s how they’ll do it:
Prep work: Techs lift the Eado safely, then use a special engine jack (with a soft pad on top) to hold up the front of the engine. This keeps it from dropping when they take out the old cushion. Next, they’ll take off the bolts that hold the old cushion to the front of the engine and the chassis.
Remove the old cushion: They pull out the worn-out one, wipe down the mounting areas to get rid of oil, rust, or dirt, and check if the front of the engine or the chassis brackets are damaged.
Install the new cushion: They line up the 1001040-B06 with the front mounting spots, bolt it down following Changan’s exact tightness specs (too tight will crush the rubber; too loose will make it shift), then gently lower the front of the engine onto the new cushion.
Test it out: They start the engine, check if there’s too much vibration up front when it’s idling or accelerating, then take it for a test drive to make sure there’s no buzzing in the cabin or weird noises from the front of the engine.
Check the rubber every 40,000km: Have techs look at the rubber—if it’s cracked, hard as a rock, or swollen, it’s time to replace it. Worn rubber can’t absorb vibration up front anymore.
Tighten the front bolts during oil changes: Ask the techs to check the cushion’s front bolts when they change the oil. Loose bolts make the front of the engine rattle or shift, which wears out the rear mounts faster.
Clean up oil leaks right away: If engine oil or coolant leaks near the front cushion, wipe it up immediately. The fluids can break down the rubber and ruin the cushion.
Watch for warning signs: If you feel more vibration from the front of the engine bay, hear a “thud” when you brake hard, or notice the engine is tilted forward, the front cushion is probably worn out.

This is an exclusive front engine cushion for Changan Eado (confirm VIN for fitment). Constructed with rubber-metal composite (a flexible rubber core reinforced by embedded steel plates), it is mounted between the Eado’s engine front block and chassis frame, serving as a key shock-absorbing and load-bearing component for the engine’s front end.
Its core functions include absorbing vibrations from the engine’s front moving parts (reducing cabin buzzing), bearing most of the engine’s front weight (80–100kg) to maintain horizontal balance (easing stress on rear mounts), and protecting nearby front components (radiator, water pipes) from friction and impact.
It only fits all Changan Eado variants. It is incompatible with other Changan models (e.g., CS35, UNI-T), non-Changan vehicles, and Eado with modified engines (e.g., turbo upgrades). Installation requires certified technicians, involving engine front support, old cushion removal, torque-controlled fitting of the new cushion, and post-installation testing. Maintenance involves 40,000km rubber condition checks (for cracks/hardening), bolt tightening during oil changes, prompt oil leak cleanup, and monitoring warning signs (excessive vibration, "thunk" noises, engine tilt). Original parts ensure proper fit, durability, and performance—aftermarket options risk poor vibration absorption, misalignment, or component damage
