i just recieved my motor mount from AHMOTOR.COM after two weeks of waiting. *grrrrrrr* they didnt check to make sure it was actually ordered and it was sitting on backorder for a week.

how much work actually goes into replacing a motor mount? the lower mount on the driver side is the one thats busted. anyone wanna elaborate on what it would take on replacing it?

 

I think all but the rear one are semi hard....but that rear one is a ****!!!

 

Fukin, how do you tell if their busted yet or not?

 

If you drive agressively (ie. drag race) and have stock motor mounts, then they are probably already broken. you can actually look at one...I think the Tranny mount and tell that way.

 

yes, the rear one is hard, im in the process of puttin inserts in. Had to order new bolts and all, see my post about it.

 

everytime i accelerate the car shakes noticably through the gas pedals and shifter.

 

You'll find a detailed install of the ES inserts here. Just follow the same direction for the front mounts, since it describes removal and installation.

It's not too hard. The worst part on mine was that I had to remove all the A/C system to get the mount out. Unlike the install guide on that site, my driver's side mount wouldn't swing down -- the frame was in the way, and the engine wouldn't drop far enough to allow it.

Anyway, good luck with the install. Shouldn't be too tough.

 

You should be able to tell if they are out.. I have seen cars that when you throttle it the motor looks like its about to jump out of the car...lol.. but thats an extreme... you will be able to tell if they bust though..

 

You need to get a jack holdin next to the oil pan, think its the a/c bracket, then lower the engine, and use the jack so it dont fall. Then insert the insert on the bolt, then the mount, then the insert, and assembe it all on the bolt much easier.

 

thanks everyone, seemed a lot easier than i imagined... and thanks again ARTURBO!
