I am replacing the mount. I noticed that both the old mount and new mount fit "loose" on the mount shaft. The fit is very loose. Its like there is a sleeve missing. Both the old and new mount have a sleeve moulded into the mount. I checked the online exploded parts diagram and there is no other part shown. Has anybody else noticed this sloppy / loose fit?

It's normal. I don't know why they're made like that but it's just the way it is.

94EG8, Thanks for the reply. I was so uncomfortable with the fit of the mount over the mount shaft that I called Honda service to confirm that the "sloppy fit" is normal. The Honda Service guy also said that this is the design for this mount. In all my years of mechanics I never saw such a loose fit for parts.

Had the same problem. I don't understand its use with a fit that lose. I returned the one I bought I'm just gonna buy a aftermarket set of mounts.

I got the mount at NAPA for $22.00. Its a nice looking mount. All rubber coated. For that price, I'm sold!
