Which motor mount is bad?

I have a 06 Tl running moderately rough on idle. I have no doubt that it is the Mount but i dont know front or rear. I took a video of the engine while i power break in drive and reverse. the engine has alot of play im assuming its the rear mount but i want to confirm

Click here for Video of the Engine Play
I start revving 10 secs in
FIRST I REV IN DRIVE THEN REVERSE. DRIVE PUSHES TOWARDS THE FIREWALL.

Please tell me if im correct and its rear.

I would say replace the front and sides only bc it does most of the work, unless you see visible damage at the rear.

BTW I couldn't see the video.

I would just go and change all the mounts, that's a lot of play and I doubt only 1 mount is broken.

Do you know if the Front and Rear Mounts are the Same Part/Same Fit?

change them all. the side one is usually the first to go, with the others not far behind. keep in mind that a single damaged/broken mount puts a lot of stress on the others, shortening their lives as well. consider changing the transmission mounts also

I agreed with these guys, change them all if you can afford it. The car will feel like new again., well worth the money bc you'll enjoy them every time you drive the car. The car will feel really smooth and quiet, isolated from the engine.

I went OEM when I replaced ALL of mine. Do them all, these are maintenance items and not meant to last the life of a car.

BUT, you can see this eBay auction that includes all mounts and appear to be the vacuum type as well.

Seller has sold 200+ of these and has 100% feedback, so a LOT of TLs out there with these on them. Wouldn't be surprised if mom and pop repair joints are buying these instead of OEM.

Worth a gamble in my opinion at $189.75 shipped. Last one too!
