I have 03 i35, with112k, curious about engine mount replacement. Do you guys recommend oem or aftermarket ? Also which mount to replace first ? Or you have to replace all, thx

The two main ones on the bottom are electronic/adjustable and OEM is expensive. The aftermarket replacements are non electronic and some say they make the car vibrate a bit more some say they cant tell.

For the passenger side mount I used an eBay one and it has held up so far. Have not changed any others yet

What leads you to believe your motor mounts need replacement?

When I make right turn on low speed I could feel the vibration and noise form the engine

I replaced my motor mounts with non-electric ones. I can feel a little more vibration now, but it's not terrible.

My mount(s) are so bad on the '02 I35 that my CD player refuses to play cds when the engine is one. When the engine is off, it plays cds just fine. This is with less than 73K miles on the odometer.

Are you referring to the inserts or full motor mount assemblies?

Referring to the inserts. They r fantastic. A lil vibration. Nothing crazy tho.

can someone tell me which motor mount is bad in my 2000 I30 , when I start the car and change the gear to drive or reverse, it has a big vibration each time i change the gear, what is the part number and where is located ,Thank you guys

Well, I wanted to do the inserts, but the S.O. just wanted to get new mounts. Got decent OEM quality non-electronics mounts from a vendor called WorldPac and had them installed. I'm guessing the old mounts had deteriorated into crap from non-use because you can barely tell the care is running with the new mounts.

I just had my front electronic mount replaced for 374.00, I went with OEM. The part alone was 220.00. I never had a vibration, it was a clunk sound. Well the clunk is gone but a vibration has replaced it. When I stop at a light or stop sign it vibrates and makes a light roaring sound. Its back to the mechanic, he seems to be struggling to find the problem.

this is likely to be your torque mounts (front and rear). If you have not replaced the passenger mount and tranny mount, I suggest you do them all.

searching the org will answer your location and part number questions.

If your car is vibrating more after a new motor mount install, I would service the motor.....

Spark Plugs, Vacuum leaks, etc.

When I had the stock motor and 3 poly mounts, I had 0 vibration @ idle w/ AC on...

I purchased hydraulic mounts. The car feels new again.
