My front engine mount is broken. How difficult is it to replace? Can i just replace it the way it is or do i have to pull the motor? Would a salvage yard piece be okay? TIA
same problem I have an automatic and I was wonderring the same thing
the front engine mount( close to the radiatior towards the bottom of the car) is 45 bucks at the dealer. The front torque mount(on the left side between the motor and frame) is 150 bucks…I had all my mounts replaced and got energy inserts for them…I love how the car drive…feels really precise and solid…the only thing is that there is more vibration in the car…=)
in other word no you dont have to pull the motor and you could get the mount from a junk yard. Just remeber the parts come from a JUNK YARD. May not be perfect nor last forever.
yea, the motor doesnt have to come out…My friend did it in about 2 hours in his garage…Motor mounts are very important…dont buy them at a junkyard…buy new ones! =)
The front Motor mount is easy as $h… to replace. You just need a 17mm wrench and ratchet w/ socket. This mount does not carry the load of the engine like the others, it is more of a stabilizer. Mine was nearly ripped off when I replaced it during a tranny swap, only 70k miles on it.
