Hi y'all, my friend has a 2010 Civic coupe LX. It has a strong vibration inside and outside the car. The vibration can be heard like a rumbling sound. It lessed when in R or D and worst when in N or P, but can be felt when I let go of the gas pedal as well. I looked at the passenger side engine mount, and it look like the mount and the engine bracket are sitting right on top of each other, no gap in between. I been searching and seem the replacement is simple enough. Should I be looking at something else as well that might contribute to this crazy vibration? I looked at the tranny mount and its seem to be normal.
Also, do I buy OEM or aftermarket? Since many mentioned this Civic generation has lots of failed motor mount, I'm afraid OEM might be the same.

Nothing really wrong with OEM if you consider that it lasted almost 9 years. Your option on aftermarket or OEM; cost/value and how long car will be kept, etc. should be considered.

Thanks tech8. I did considering those that you mentioned. The reason I asked for OEM vs aftermarket but the car started this vibration almost 4 years ago, which possibly mean the mount was bad or getting bad since. So the mount was good for roughly 5 years. I guess it didn't bother her much at that time, plus the car wasn't driven often either. I guess it starting to bother her so she asked me for help. I wouldn't mind go aftermarket, trying to save money of course, but been seeing not many good reviews on aftermarket brand for the mount. I guess OEM then =\

Just got the mount last night, bought it OEM. It is very soft and I can easily press down on 1 side, the engine side of the mount, with the bracket on. Is this normal?
