Aftermarket motor mounts causing vibration?
So I recently took my 07 automatic tl in for inspection and was told two of the motor mounts were bad. I took it back home and decided to do it myself. It ended up being the front and side as im sure most of you couldve guessed. Trying to save a few bucks I ended up ordering all three from rockauto assuming that the rear was on its way out too. Well I put them in and in drive i get a real bad vibration that wasnt there with the old worn out mounts. Ive tried the whole neutralizing the mounts a few times and I cant get it to go away. The mounts are made by Beck Arnly and have the hydraulic and vacuum lines on them. Thats why I thought theyd be fine. Should I bite the bullet and order new OEM ones or does anyone have any other suggestions? The car idles fine and theres no issues in reverse either. Car has about 128xxx on it fyi.

After market one usually doesn't have the proper compound rubber as OEM mounts which explain why the abnormal vibration. Not all rubber create equal and just like car tires and this is the same thing apply for motor mount.

Yeah I've had two RLs now. My old one had both mounts break and on my new one the right mount was broken. I sold the old RL but I fixed the new one's right engine mount. I took it to a local mechanic but they used the dealer part.
