3 motor mounts....front, back, side.

Front: ~$115
Side: ~75
Rear: ~$115

Be sure to order through one of the AZ vendors for this pricing. If you walk into a normal dealership they will be more expensive.

Use the search function...many, many threads on this topic.

Vibration while standing still in Drive for exampe at a stop light. Vibriation disappears if you shift to neutral or Park. However this symptom won't always be there.

Our cars .. if you have 50k on the odo, good chance is your mounts are already shot. Whether the symptoms are full blown or minor is a different issue.

I have an 06 and I had to replace my front and the passenger side mounts along with getting the damper kit installed. I was told by the dealer that this affected the earlier models from 04 - 06's.

I'm getting a noticable bump from underneath when I take off from stop light and after I've came to a stop. Is this motor mounts as well?

So how difficult is it to replace all of the mounts? I don't have any special tools, just the standard so would I need anything special to perform this task? I am not about to spend the $1100 quoted by the dealer to replace my broken mounts.

just a floor jack and block of wood to put under the oil pan so you can lift the engine when you unbolt the mounts. The rear one is a bitch to get to, the front and side are easy. All you need is a 14mm socket, 20mm too (I think) and some extensions. Once you unbolt the front mount its hard to get it out of there, and theres a vent tube connected to it. Im cheap so instead of replacing my side mount I just removed it, cleaned it out an filled it with shoe-goo, cause its still pliable when it dries. I havent drove it yet cause Im still working on my timing belt, but Ill let you know if it feels better. My mount was completely split in half on the inside though...
