TL engine mounts fit RL?

Anyone have experience with installing TL engine mounts on a RL?

My passenger side mount is torn and it seems i can not find aftermarket passenger side engine mounts, Found center and rear but no passenger side. They have TL aftermarket passenger side for $30

.TL mounts are cheaper. My 08 isn't a new car, not worth buying everything new from the dealer. But in this case I might have to

I recently replaced the passenger side and the front mount. I cross referenced the parts with Honda parts and the RL mounts were Acura only. They were also different than a TL. It is easy enough to check on any of the Acura sites that sell parts online. My guess would be the RL uses a different mount. Like almost everything else on the RL it uses its own specialty parts.

Btw, $30 for an engine mount sounds incredibly cheap. I believe the oem mounts are @135 for the side and @155 for the front. From what I've been told it is rare the drivers side or rear mount fail.

FWIW, I just replaced most of the engine mounts in my 06 with new Acura parts.

On a Honda, any and all of them can fail.

True! But usually the front is the most common to fail. The rear usually fails if the driver is constantly slamming it into reverse from drive. Or driving very aggressively in reverse. The transmission mount seems to fail the least often but of course it is still possible.
