i have a 2003 tl type s. Are all the engine mounts for a 99-03 tl the same?

i don't think so. some years have vac lines and others do not.

look in the parts books for comparison of numbers

There are 3 different motor mounts that go on that car. Many places call two of them motor mounts and 1 a transmission mount. If you call your local dealer they will give you the exact part numbers to all 3 that are installed in your car. I have the RR mount for sale on the Black Market. There is also one on the firewall side (passenger side) and one in the front under the motor. Hope that helped.

front of car - left side of engine - acura calls `front mount`
pass side (actual front of engine) fails sometime after front goes undetected in its failure and adds stress to the side mount

the rear motor mount is the firewall side (right side of engine)

there are also 2 more trans mounts

your dealer or one of our dealer vendors for info and prices

the front and rear mounts are the ones that MAY be vac assisted
replace with same or plug line securely so no mystery vac leak

a bad mount with booster will cause a mystery vac leak no tech can find!

Correct, in the case of my 02 both front and rear mount use vac to firm up the mount under acceleration. Meaning it will make the mount stiffer. If one of the mounts fails - busts - it is possible to have a vac leak of sorts. Depending on the degree of failure that is.

In my case, I have an aftermarket front mount and have plugged the vac line.

is that passenger side?
they make quality products- I would use one on my own car

03c0upe

yeah passenger side

thats a `normal` type mount- just a rubber bushing attached to metal plate
beck would be fine

iirc the dealer gets about 50 for that part (price info a few years old)

the front and rear- which are the sides of the engine in reality- are the expensive trick ones with vacuum boosting
