Hey, need some advice on the mounts. one of my mounts is blown, looks like the front one. This is second time this happened to me... made me not trust the OEM as much..

What you guys think about these?

They offer lifetime replacement warranty + perfect OEM fit...

Thinking about grabing these, just need second opinion.

 

I think the front mount is electronic. The 3 of ebay looks to be the regular mounts.

The front mount is around 100$ alone.

Here are the P/n's

I got quoted 330$ for all 5 OEM shipped with 1 year warranty. But then i think a shop will take about the same $ to install them :/
Don't have the right spot nor tool to do it myself

Once on ebay do look OEM but description says their "upgraded", also OEM only give u a year warranty, these say lifetime. Probably some cath with it

Thanks for reply

 

There arent any better mounts for our car. Them failing is just a design flaw. Your not alone, we ALL have them go. They average 50k. Typically the front and side are the only ones to go. Use this site

How would I know if my trany mounts are bad? with out actually look at them?

 

they say that the mounts have a life time warranty and money back if ur not satisfied. get them and if anything u can return them or they will give u a new set or money back

 

yeah i looked around it does looks like it's a common problem ..

I just wanna replace them before I throw on my new parts :P,
ordered ATLP exhaust and comptech headers

 

haha Thats what I needed lol! thank you lol, now just gotta make sure which are messed up

 

look for any cracks in the side and front mount. the rear is harder to tell. if your getting all 3 then why not replace all 3.

 

I'm also think might as well replace all 3,
but then what about the 2 trany mounts? Might as well replace all 5? lol , i think replacing trany mounts would be kinda waste of $ . do those really go bad?

Only reason i'm even mentioning them is because i had a trany swap and i'm just wordering if they didn't mess anything up

 

i have not read of them going bad. who ever swapped your trans would have said something about the trans mounts

 

Oh trust me i could have as well said nothing.. about after 8-9 months of driving, my power steering fluid started leaking, I went to a shop and the guy told me who ever installed the trany is an idiot and did not put the fluid tube in it's brackets, so eventually it started brushing against the engine belt (sorry do not know what it's called, pulley?) and made a hole in the tube...

I just have the feeling these shops don't really care about the car.. Maybe if i pull up on a lambo they will lol

 

intense thats not all three trust me read it some more i just went throught the same thing the only send you the side motor mount and front and rear trans mount i brought the 5 pc set from macautoparts for 238 in NY they sell on ebay I have a question is the front mount considered to be in the front of the engine when you pop the hood I got my rear and side mounts done and the side was cracking and the rear was finished the fluid was leaking out it was rusted i was thinking about getting the front and both my rear front trans mounts put to see what happens my mech told me my trans mounts were getting weak and to replace them in a year Intense these mounts are also lifetime warranty 238 free shipping for 3pcmotormounts and 2pc trans mounts

 

Holy run-on sentence Batman!! Use a few periods in there.

 

lmao

 

Hey guys just want to share my experience with this.

1. Ordered mounts shortly after my last post. They were sent USPS.

2. Week later , nothing. Contacting seller. Mounts got lost in the mail.

3. Seller offered replacement or refund. I called Replacement. I push for UPS or FedEx delivery.. few days later seller says mounts will be shipped from the dealer directly and they usualy use ups or fedex, and they will let me know ship info when available.

4. A day or so after that, I contact them again, saying i still did not get any shipping info. Seller replies he just called dealer asking for shipping info. abit later he replies, " dealer shipped the mounts to us instead of shipping them to you directly." , He says he will ship the mounts tommorow morning, which would be Saturday the 18th.

5. I just recived mounts from usps. Packed in regular usps box, barely holding together because there is no padding anywhere around, just some paper stuck inbetween.. I mean i know it's metal parts and all but com'on...

No shit first package got lost in mail, the way they packed it, it prob got riped and everything fell out... Talk about quality business... Whole time I had to check up on where my stuff is? I really hope these mounts wont crap out, because i really don't want to deal with their "lifetime warranty" replacement.

Altho I will say that the seller didn't "ignore" me for most part and did respornd to my emails with in a day or two. Also he was no rude in this replies or anything like that. But shesh that should be the very basic part of any bussines...

Just checked paypal,
Money sent: Mar. 31, 2009
Item Recived: April 23, 2009



How did those 3 mounts fit in that box? Magic.



Thanks for reading
