First things first. Find out which one you need. Find one to replace it from one of the links above. Do a lot of research before you attempt, or take it in to get fixed.

For OEM, try http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...49&catalogid=0
www.courtesyparts.com

They usually have better prices than local dealer.

 

thank you so much. that first site does have the mount it is like 142 its a whole lot better than 237.

thanks again




i think it is my FRONT motor mount....if i need a new one, how soon should i replace it ??????

 

The front mount has an electrically operated "stiffening" unit built into it. Which is why it's so darn expensive.

The front AND the rear do. I remember the tech disconnecting both of them when we were lowering my sub-frame.

 

huh. thats crazy. yea they are expensive..

now lets say i buy the part online do you guys suggest i take it to the dealer to be installed or could this be done by yourself ???

is it easy or hard?

 

Sub-frame needs to go so unless you have the tools and man power to do it yourself, I would suggest taking it to the stealership or having someone help you out at the least

 

what would a FAIR price be on this install?

 

Ahhhhh right. I think it was the automatics that had the electronic mounts front and rear? And just the front electronic mount for the manual transmissions?

 

I had my FSB and MMI installed for $150, but I would say expect to get ***-rapped on prices at local shops since it requires lowering of the sub-frame and I'm sure the "book hours" on that are over the top!

IMO, you most definitely need a lift to do the MMI
