ooh ok nevermind , maan, the shaking is more and more evident it looks like replacing the front one did not help that much. I am gonna take it to dealership next week and have the side one replaced. I should have just taken it to dealership and have it replaced. I wonder how good of a job the other shop did, they had a pretty good rating so I thought it might be ok. How much is the possibility that the rear mount is shot? i will have you posted of the result once the side one is replaced. man, i hope it aint gonne be a dragging issue.

a shop should be able to test the mounts visually for oil leakage from the `special ones`, and mechanical leverage (prybar) test for integrity of rubber component on all the mounts

how much do they want?
do an internet search for them + reviews, or + comments

their ad says they buy direct - so its the acura/honda part
call and ask if they have the part IN STOCK?
have you tried any of our dealer supporters in the Vendor Directory- next to the sign out box- cant miss it
everyone can get discounts from dealer, levels depend on amount you buy from them, and what you brought for ~Goodwill Goodies~
if you are a wholesale buyer, there are several price levels depending on how much you buy,,so you could open a parts biz with several car makers supplying you on order and drop ship items from their own warehouse...all internet biz

these are not difficult to do
did they charge diagnosis fee now,, or it that an hour on each part to diagnose Plus regular labor to replace--what a ripoff
side mount is 50 bucks and 1 hour max labor--should be 30 minutes
rear I dont know--if engine rear, part 120-150 retail
trans rear?? experts on this please step up
a trans shop has the experience to do the work
or any small private owner local import/honda repair shop- look in phone book for smaller ads

Stop wasting time, seriously. Buy the damn parts, get the tools necessary, set aside a weekend to install, and get to it! You claim you've done a lot of work before in the past to your other cars, so I don't see what the hesitation is. You don't need space to do mounts. I live in an apt too, park on the street.
The side mount can be done in less than half an hour with the use of just a ratchet & socket/extension. At least just knock that one out.

okay guys thanks first of all, i took it to dealerships to diagnose the problem not to have it fixed. that is because after having the front one replaced, i still see the symptoms that is why to pinpoint the problem. Now they found it out for me, I can find other cheaper ways to fix it.
here is my plan: i should be able to do the side mount by myself, brake shims replacement (posted on different thread
) by dealer and need to find someone who can do the rearbrakes since that is the most expensive ones.
