I have a 91 Honda Accord EX with 225k miles on it.

I've been experiencing vibration in the steering wheel/dash when stopped at idle speeds.

I'm just starting my research, but from what I've read people have had luck fixing the problem by replacing the rear motor mount.

Where did people get the replacement part and for how much? A link would be great.

I got that far. But which part number do I want? Education guess says part 98235 (illustration 11 for 91 Honda Accord EX Automatic).

I assume I'll need to buy the 4 bolts that are connected to it in the diagram?

I was told that I had to lift the engine to replace the motor mounts.
Is that True?

 

From what I've researched, it looks like you would need/want a jack to support the engine. But I'm not 100% on that.

you will need a floor jack to support the engine. some say it is easier to get to the mount if you remove the intake and some say go under the car. I prefer going under the car.

4cyl is fairly light and any floor jack capable of lifting your car up should be able to support the 4 banger and transaxle. you will have to lift the engine up about 1" to remove the mount after removing the exhaust pipe

 

i put inserts in my front one and attempted to do the rear, but found out you had to take the intake manifold off. i ended up just filling the mount with 3M window weld. you have to clean the mount first then do the filling in layers. i did mine in 2 layers letting them dry 24 hrs between each to make sure they dried up good. there is a little bit more vibration, but the car shifts better. well worth the 10 bucks for the tube. here is a link that will help too.

how long does that stuff last before wearing away?

 

should last as long as your car, its some type of ureuthane.

Yes, I'm a newbie.

How do you go about checking this thing out? The Vacuum Valve.
