My car shakes and from the searches and friends telling me that I prolly need new ones to stop the shaking I figured that I should look into it. Can anybody tell me how much they cost and for labor? Also is there a cheaper/better way to fix this?

they cost like 40-70 each i think. labor is a buttload at around 100+. you can buy motor mount inserts for like 25/set, but they will cause more vibration, but give you better launches. you can also make them yourself for 10bucks, but theyre still stiff. look in the teg tip forum for my diy fixes
motor mounts
i need the rear one and the front one (by radiator). I have shaking.
Which one do u suggest to fix first?
im fixing one at a time cuz theyre so expensive
so im hoping to fix on the first try
so front or back
i was thinking back
TIA
Motor Mounts
I would replace the back one to get by until you can fix the front. My front mount busted and I just bought HaSport mounts so Ill never have a mounting problem again.
Both inserts are imperative to engine life, driveability, and power. You will want to get both of the mounts fixed if they are broke. If they are not broke then you can just get the insert for the front (shake less than the rear) or just get both. I have them, a little wiered, but you get used to it, I like them.

XDeep, I just got my front mount replaced and it’s about $48US for the replacement mount from the dealer. With the new mount, the car doesn’t feel so mushy anymore at start and coming to a hard stop.
Ocbeta, I have the es inserts in the front mount and I like it. I’m debating whether or not to put the rear one in. Any opinions?
