Has anyone replaced engine mounts and how much is it?

 

[awoc]

Which mount? There are like 7 of them. Heeltoe has an aftermarket option if you are looking for stiffer ones

 

[dyremar]

I thought there were only 3 motor mounts. I am not sure which one I will be taking my car to mechanic today and don't want to be screwed.

 

[curls]

There are 3 engine mounts and a handful of transmission mounts.

Engine mounts: Front, rear, and (passenger) side. I replaced the front and rear ones with "Anchor" brand. While they look like OEM, and even had the OEM part numbers in the rubber mold, they are stiffer. I don't like them. I originally liked them, but find them too stiff. I plan to change the front one to an OEM mount that has the hydraulic connection for the variable-stiffness feature our cars have. The Anchor mount didn't have that, although their website said they do.

Innovative Mounts also makes solid motor mounts

 

[dyremar]

Thank you. I will be replacing right passenger side on Monday with oem.

According to HeelToe, the Rear one could be the most-likely suspect for high mileage TSX w/ vibration.

I ordered the rear engine mount, but hasn't arrived yet.

If you are want to stay out of vibration troubles, stay OE with vacuum tube.

Go oem... I got mines replaced by the dealer... Got a heck of a deal...

How can I check if passenger side motor mount is bad?
Has anyone replaced it as DYI?
Just checked and mount is only attached by 3 bolts only. Makes no sense to pay $90 for labor.
I want to know if I still need to support engine when taking the old one out.

 

[fanbanlo]

changed the rear one, but the vibration is still there. Gosh... Might be it's the front/side or one of those transmission ones...

 

[dyremar]

Did you change you axles? All my mounts checked out okay. I changed my axles to aftermarket, vibration is still there. I took my car to another mechanic and he is telling me that I should have replaced with OEM.
Does anyone know if aftermarket axles can cause the vibration?

 

[fanbanlo]

that was a different kind of vibration (during acceleration)
your kind should be fixed by ordering the CV join set from Heeltoe.

I've done mine, for the passenger side, and 80+% of vibration during acceleration is gone.

Finally fixed the vibration problem. Anyone who is having vibration problems due to axles, don't ever use after market parts. OEM is the way to go. Solved the vibration, runs like brand new. Pricey ($500 per side) but worth it.

Anyone know the difference between the 0-2.5 level axles on HeelToe? I just want to buy the correct one and not for any type of racing or speeding just regualr driving.

$7 axles huh?? Source? To swap out, BOTH axles im sure would be way more labor unless you have a hookup.

I'm planning to get all my motor/trans mounts replaced.
Genuine Acura Parts For Less | OEM Acura Parts seems to be the best priced I've found.
Does anyone have any experience with them? How's their service, shipping, etc?

 

[gideon's_test]

Haven't ordered from them. I highly recommend Acura Parts | OEM Acura Parts | Factory Acura Parts

Or, secondarily: Acura Parts | Genuine Acura OEM Parts | Acura Parts Cheap

 

[fanbanlo]

how's the price @ heeltoeauto? use tsxrocks for 5% off.

So in general there is 3 motor mounts and 4 trans mounts ? I called the dealer ship they said there was only 6 mounts in total
