I'm looking at replacing my super cheap and crappy rear motor mount that doesn't have a vaccuum port for one that does on my 04 A/T. Anyone have any experience with or recommendations for aftermarket mounts? I see lots of choices for ones on rockauto but cant tell which ones have vaccuum ports or not.

 

Don't do it, just get OEM...

 

I would for the right price, you got a good place to get one from?

 

Not sure what decision you've made but for the rear engine mount, you definitely want to use the OEM mount. I purchased mine from https://www.acuraoemparts.com/ for about $150 and it was worth it.

All three of my motor mounts were shot, and not understanding what I was getting myself into, I replaced with them BECK/ARNLEY parts from Rock Auto. My 2005 TL immediately developed a very severe vibration at idle, which also made the ride at speed feel more rough. It was not pleasant, in fact it was downright embarrassing. I had to shift to neutral constantly to minimize the insanely strong vibrations when stopped at a traffic light.

I replaced the rear aftermarket motor mount with an OEM mount and my vibration is gone and my ride at idle and cruising speed is back to the buttery smoothness that it used to be.

I'm not a huge fan at all of paying OEM prices for parts, but the rear engine mount on the TL absolutely needs to be OEM.

 

So I ultimately got an oem rear mount. It helped the vibration when driving at low rpm but I can still feel some vibration in the steering wheel at idle, regardless if I'm in D, N, or R. I'm kinda disappointed and at the point where I'm done throwing money at it. I've dropped a lot of cash between the oem mount, and the "magical" oem spark plugs chasing the issues I've been having. The car is approaching 300k miles, so I think getting it to run perfect is just out of the question at this point.

 

spark plugs are around $8 bux, even cheaper if you use the coupons for pepboys for OEM iridum plugs. Sounds like the lower and upper trans mounts are worn and need to be replaced with that mileage. Also be sure to neturalize new mounts to avoid binding/issues.

 

They are almost 20$ each canadian at most stores or they were 12 each + shipping from rockauto, which lead to like 80$, and they didn't make much of a difference.

I have replaced all of the engine and trans mounts, since they were all broken when I got the car.

I debated on getting this one but couldn't see if there was a vaccuum fitting, and I got told enough by others to not cheap out on the rear mount. I will have to double check that my front mount isn't leaking, and also find a way to check if the mount solenoid is working

 

When you add that to your cart, it shows it says "Rear; Hydraulic; with Vacuum"

 

Well maybe I will try an Anchor front mount. Its frustrating since I have tackled just about everything I can to get the engine to idle smoother and get rid of the vibration. Cleaned egr, throttle body, replaced plugs + coils, replaced all motor and trans mounts. I'm getting stumped 😒

 

I have yet to find any aftermarket mounts that will dampen engine vibration at a level even close to that of the Honda mounts. If you value ride comfort, you should just spend the money.

 

It definitely has the vacuum fitting.
