roughly 4 hours give or take, depending on how much experience they have dealing with mounts, and how many hands they have to help out

 

i'd imagine with a shop and the proper tools, this should be 2+hrs. Def not a whole day unless there are alignment issues. i was able to replace my mounts with new oem mounts on a leisurely sunday with limited house tools.

 

my mechanic works alone but hes really good with these acura and hondas

 

getting the mounts installed right now hope everything works out

 

mounts are installed and fit perfectly my mechanic did exactly as excelerate said do mounts one at a time and support with jack while doing it.

i have the 62a mounts. first thing i noticed is on start up engine is solid no movement at all even when revving. but there is quite a bit of vibration when im idling. i can hear my dash vibrating and feel my steering wheel also in the seats. it doesnt bother me that much because my car already vibrates alot from the exhaust and stiff coilover/dampers, and the engine torque damper.. but i hope the vibrations do die down a lil bit over time.

i had broken mounts before so i had alot of vibration already and when i would come to a stop the car would feel like its gonna die the rpms would drop a few hundred rpms.

i didnt get a chance to really test the new mounts out because of the bad weather this whole week is gonna be bad but when its sunny then we will see how they feel when i push the car hard.

i only got to do couple pulls on half throttle i can feel the car is pulling stronger

 

Thanks for the feedback. And the vibrations will subside somewhat as the bushings break in. Also make sure the center bolts are torqued to 35-40 ft lbs of torque. If they are over-torqued it will increase vibrations.

 

Glad to hear a 100% problem free experiance with shipping and install kdawg. Curious to how you like them in the next couple weeks.
Been looking into OEM mounts and for the price these would be a better deal if all headaches before hand were fixxed.

 

i was going to get new oem too because im about to sell the car soon but i didnt want them to break again after a lil while especially with the way i drive lol and for about the same price i thought id just buy these

 

how is the daily drive? has the vibrations settled it? any difference with ac on? update pls

 

the vibrations are still same im going to check how torqued the center bolts are n with the ac on its only a lil bit more

 

any word on the 90a inserts????

 

... just to give you guys heads up...

i want to say that today i took the rear and side mount out because of how annoying the vibration was... i put the stock ones back on GOD I MISSED STOCK MOUNTS its been aprox 6k miles and rear mount looks broken guys YES BROKEN i will post pictures and video tomorrow once i get the front mount out too...

i am parting out car since i will sell it soon

 

Which ones did you get?

 

75a

 

Ive seen the pics of the rear mount. Hard to believe its got only 6k miles on it

 

Come onnnnnnnnn mann. If your rear mount is broken I'm going to be pist because I have 75a also. Plus that is the hardest mount to change, which I don't feel like doing again over something so dumb.

 

 

Question people... I replaced my front right motor mount on my 04 TL. Lately I been feeling my engine shift when im at a dead stop and then hit the gas. And also when im driving and the car is about to shift at 3-4 rpm i feel like the whole car shakes only sometimes.

 

I wonder if street installed them correctly. Seems like it was same time he broke his tranny and axles.

 

Wtf are you talking about. I was first to install them and i can assure you i did it properly. Side mount looks fine but it came later that the rest. I broke tranny because my axle was rusted and it broke it doesnt have anything to do with the mounts. Rear one is definetaly worn and once i get the front out too i will post pics and video.

 

Post the pic of the rear.
Did it break at welds,bend,or bushing failure ?

 

I am at work right now i will post picture later today. Its bushing failure.

 

Are you saying that a snapped axle automatically breaks the tranny, cause I have heard of axles being replaced after snapping without needing new tranny. You dont think that could have affected or damaged the mount? How do we know a oem mount wouldnt also be damaged after snapping axles and damaging tranny? It seemed like you were complaining ever since you installed it, whereas others and myself didn't have the same complaints right after. Just want to know if this is an isolated incident or not. Would need more failures to confirm it.

I would be more convinced if it was just the mount issue without all the other damage issues.

 

I had the hell of the vibrations last two weeks. I got used to it but since i decided to part out the car i took them out. I just dont see how breaking an axle could affect tranny mount. I took it out and it looks like the middle metal bushing is loose that i could push it out of the poly with my finger. I also recorded a video that shows how can you move it inside the poly bushing it def worn amd that 100% not from a my axle breakage. Thats whole different story. You can tell that after installing the mounts you will notice much more things that are loose or feel more vibrations from a drivetrain. Rear mount is shot i have doubt. I didnt even last 10k. And lately i was driving very calm due to tranny issue. Please dont tell me that i did something wrong. How many miles did you put on that mounts ? 1k 2k? I want to see how does the front mount looks like because i ended up late night replacing side and rear and today i will pull the front and inspect it as well

 

Because I snapped both axles, destroyed my differential bearings, and then put another ~2k miles on the car on stock mounts. They were fine when I pulled them out.

His bushings didnt tear, nor did the welds break. The bushing suffered the same fate as the Innovative mounts - doughnutting.

 

Every time I miss my CLs, I open this thread and am less sad since I am not dealing with mounts.

 

 

i was able to push the metal bushing out with one finger and actually it almost fall out by itself when i pulled out the mount

i still haven't touched front one but im sure i will get it out today or tomorrow

i would like to get my money back

 

Not good.

Sorry.

 

I didn't tell you anything, they were questions. That is why i use question marks. This doesn't look good tho. It looks like the alignment of the mount was wrong from the beginning since the metal on that one side is pressed in. Interested in seeing other 2 mounts.

 

how do the mounts on the 4th gen TL hold up ? wouldnt these be a direct swap ?

 

Wow...I haven't installed mine yet.

 

The 4g TL 6MT rear looks similar to the CL-S6 rear; but, does not share the same part#. The other oem mounts on the 4g are different.

different is good ... id bet theyll still bolt up ... but how are they holding up ? what are TL guys saying

 

I'll take that bet. :

 

cant believe the poly is already done.
You only had them for a few months right?
I bet the hardest one's would last.
Is that sleeve all done too ?

 

sleeves look ok but poly is gone it was installed properly i have no idea why brian is trying to tell me that i did something wrong and dont get that mounts might be just gone because of their design or whatever reason... its not my fault thats what im 100% sure

 

OH please. How many times do I have to say I didn't tell you anything and was asking questions. Can you read? Why do you think anyone asking any questions is a personal attack? People need to get over themselves and their egos. I am just trying to get answers. Please street put more words in my mouth for me.

You should never be 100% sure of anything in life, except the fact that you will die.

 

Two of my mounts are bad (F & R) and I was thinking of replacing with a set of XLR8 mounts. From reading this thread I've come to the conclusion that:

A.) No-one makes better after-market motor mounts than XLR8 for the 2nd gen CL.

B.) XLR8 motor mounts should last longer than OEM because they don't have any moving (hydraulic) parts.

C.) XLR8 motor mounts (with 62a bushings) may cause a little bit of vibration, similar to when your OEM mounts are broken.

D.) A set of properly installed XLR8 motor mounts should correct the acceleration hesitation caused by broken motor mounts and possibly fix the idle dashboard vibration noises.

Am I correct? Anything else I should think about? I'd like to place my order soon...

 

from the begining you sound like you trying to make it like it was my fault or something i just dont understand why are you trying to neglect what i just posted like it wasnt a design or material issue... i dont feel like it was personal atack but it seems weird like you stand behind Josh back... hmmmm maybe you have a profit from it

and please keep your smart life senstences for somebody else Mr. Wise Guy




let's get over it and get back on topic
