haha, thx fror help except i aint quite in line with noob comment. I used to own honda crx, and used to do all kind of work on it including clutch replacement, axle change and even changed the engine myself. ever since i bought my TL i was too careful to do my work plus i aint got place to work on, as i live in the apt.

 

guyenazine- that noob comment was NOT meant towards you in any way!

I write things thinking of noobs `in the future` who will look to these post for help

 

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

 

wow i found side mount half the price at https://www.acurapartssource.com/acura-tl-parts.html compared to dealer price. have anyone bought from there?

 

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

 

it was 70$ vs 120$+tax at dealership.

 

lets compare parts descriptions and location

Front mount is front of car--left side of engine,,fluid filled ~$120-150 retail

Passenger SIDE mount- actual front of engine is regular type solid rubber mount $50

ck our vendor list and try those dealers,we have a few new ones join recently
all are giving extra discount to ziners so make sure they know where you came from
they accept PHONE calls to be sure you get the right items

 

well I alrready found one at https://www.acurapartssource.com/acura-tl-parts.html and that is the only site where I was able to find side mount. Other ones does not have it. Their web site says they sell acura TL OEM parts.

 

I saw their listing- a place that buys a lot from acura and resells to the public

If you dont see something on one of our sponsoring dealers/vendors site- call them!

 

hmmm interesting.... something to look into for my car that creates left and right vibrations when i accellerate.

both axles were changed, engine mounts checked, but still vibrating upon throttle.

 

well acurapartssource.com is where I was able to find the part, but I have no idea of their reputation. If I call them, they will sure will say their product is of good quality, who will say we sell crap. I wanna hear from other ppl who bought from 'em. If they sell a quality product and I am convinced about it, I am ready to buy one from them anytime.

 

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

 

well i decided to take it to the dealership it turned out to be side and read mount they say, charging me 600$ something for back and 300$ for side one.

 

2 pages of thread to help you diagnose, purchase and install mounts...
and it ends up in the dealer hand at extreme prices

everyone makes their own choices

 

well they diagnosed to me and come up with those diagnosis, i have not have them the work done yet. That is why I posted here .

 

I really wish there is a local mechanic ziner who can do it for me.

 

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

 

did you look in the regions link- Meets section, for those who go to ziner gatherings?
those same people tend to diy and be helpful to others

 

yeah, i thought exactly the same way you do and i found the discussion thread about local gatherings but that does not seem to be frequented very often. but i am keeping an eye on it. i dont know if you mean the same thing by region link.

 

at the top of every page here, REGIONS
its broken into areas of the countries
then threads posted by people who want to make a gathering happen

YOU need to post to it!!!
Help Needed!! ziner Smog guru in xyz for egr/High NOX prob

 

Do you have some tools & someone to assist?- some cold beer should help too. Give it a shot.

 

Hey man, you posted this thread for a reason. Motor mounts came up & discussion was headed into the realm of you purchasing the mounts. Then you go to the dealership so they could tell you something you kind of already knew. I also wonder if you mentioned mounts to them before they came up with their diagnosis?

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.

 

i meant rear mount not rear brakes.
