Ford Escape XLT V6 3.0 Passenger side motor mount
Replacing the passenger side engine mount on our mile sponge. Worn engine mount caused car to vibrate so badly, causing everything rattle in the cabin. Thank you for watching!

Our 2006 3.0L was vibrating at idle at red lights and in Park. I watched your awesome video and replaced my mount. WOW what a difference!! Thanks for the nut sizes, that sped things up.

[@CubingWithGramps]

Still a great video. Just did mine with no issues and the car is night and day better. Thanks.

[@MrBigcat1]

Nice video! I have a 2005 V6 Escape and I thought the vibration was normal. Followed your video, replaced the mount and now it's smooth as butter! Thanks so much!

So glad to hear it was helpful. They're great little cars

Thanks for the video, the sizes are so good to know and earned a thumbs up 👍

One of the most professional DIY videos I have ever watched, congratulations and subscribed. My 2009 Fred Escape has 200,000 kms (120,000 miles). NAPA garage said motor mounts are going on mine but I think he was referring to the rear ones mounted on frame which he said may be a problem due to rust.

[@brianbaker359]

Firstly, absolute first class video, lighting, tight editing and adding text notes on sizes, etc. makes this such a professional instruction and shows every aspect of the replacement. Thank you for posting. I presume you did both sides, is that correct. How many miles/kilometres are on yours. My 2009 Ford Escape has 185,000 kms or 110,000 miles but I haven’t noticed vibration issue yet. I am more worried about rear shock mounts corroding as I drive in Ontario, Canada where a lot of salt is used on the highways. My most serious problem is no AC probably due to broken desiccant canister plugging the lines.

[@WaterBearOfficial]

Just got to 180k miles. The passenger side and the front mount were done, but it was the passenger side that alleviated the vibration. The front mount doesnt provide support, its more a stabilizer. Thanks for the kind words!

[@dandiegidio7729]

About to do this today. Thanks for the video. Years ago I had a 99 protege with a bad front mount, and the engine was rocking when I hit the gas because the rubber was deteriorated. I bought a tube of black silicone and squirted most of the tube into the mount. The engine stopped rocking and it lasted for years. I probably wouldn't do that again.

Thank you! Sorry for the late reply. We just had a baby and have had a lot going on. Will be working on the Escape more in the future. Thanks again!

Great video! Thank you!

[@kefengyuan3278]

That's exactly what I did to my 2006 Ford Escape. You could enjoy your efforts. You don't need to remove the hose of the coolant tank (you have to refill the tank later) if you are careful enough.

Great video have the same model 😎

NICE JOB

[@frankie072]

I have a vibration when in drive and foot on the brake,if i put it in neutral its fine ,put it back in drive ,vibration is back,I will be changing this mount next week ,im glad i found this video,This has to be the issue

[@WaterBearOfficial]

My experience was the same. Vibration was worst stopped in gear. I expect yours will feel like a new car as mine did after.

[@frankie072]

Well i just replaced the part and ,HOLY SHIT,I cant believe its the same vehicle,it took about an hour ,but that was with talking to 2 neighbors for 5 min or so each and not rushing at all,now that i did it ,i could do this in 30 min if i had to do it again,Thank you for making this video ,my suv feels like new for $38 bux and an hour of my time

[@WaterBearOfficial]

@@frankie072 i couldn't believe it either, how something so simple could make such a difference!cheers !

[@markhanson8366]

Excellent presentation. Why not just replace the failed rubber bushing? Is that possible or does one need to buy the new metal components too?

[@justlg3359]

I have a 2012 ford escape 2.5, but how do you which mount is bad and good? Caz I don't want to replace this then it's another one lol I have a but of a jerk when I switch gears from drive to park to reverse, and a bit so shaking when at stop light

[@WaterBearOfficial]

As far as determining which individual mount, I visually checked inspected them. My front mount was bad. The rubber was split in two, but it didnt fix the vibration. The second mount didnt show any signs of damage, but being easy to access, I just replaced it. If youre getting a jerk, many times it can be the the ones that sit vertically like your transmission mount. Look for cracks or splits in the rubber.

[@anacondadope550]

Hey, I have a 2011 escape with the same problem, but it is the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder version. Would this help mine? Just asking since you have the V6 model and yours is older. Just wanted your 2 cents before I went ahead and replaced the mounts. Thanks for helping!

[@WaterBearOfficial]

I looked up the part and it looks very similar to the V6 mount. I am betting it would help yours as well seeing how it supports your engine the same way as it does mine.

[@anacondadope550]

@@WaterBearOfficial thanks for the advice. Where did you order yours from, is it an OEM part or aftermarket from Amazon or something?

[@WaterBearOfficial]

@@anacondadope550 i found OEM Ford engine mounts on Amazon, but went with O'Reilly autoparts aftermarket for the lifetime warranty. However, engine mount i pulled was the original Ford mount. So it lasted a good amount of time. They each were within $20 of each other if i remember correctly.

[@seansegasture966]

Have a vibration in the steering wheel on my '12, especially when stopped at a light. Looking forward to replacing this soon. Do you happen to know any of the torque specs?

[@WaterBearOfficial]

The Haynes manual shows no torque specs for the engine mount, just to use thread locker. However someone shared the workshop manual torque specs on the escape city forum for a 2008. This part should fit 2005-2012 - 35 ft lbs for the insulator (mount) support bolts. 66 ft lbs for the engine bracket bolt, and 41 ft lbs for the bracket nuts. Ive added a link to the discussion in the description.

[@edwardbaker1331]

Need Help!!!!! Not sure if I have the correct part, or if I need to raise the engine. The new mount is a whole inch taller than the old "exhausted" mount, which is totally depleated, including a tear at the bottom. After mounting the new to the frame, the engine bracket will not clear the studs because I just have it supported to where the old mount allowed it to sit and no more. Is this normal to have to jack the engine to accommodate a new mount?

[@WaterBearOfficial]

I raised my engine about half an inch. Maybe you have more than one bad mount causing it to sit lower? Where did you get the mount? Is there a part number?

[@edwardbaker1331]

@@WaterBearOfficial Thank you for responding. The part is: 6L8Z-6068-AA. I have a 2005 3.0 V6. I bought it online. My escape has 122K I replaced this previously at 95K with a chinese made piece of crap that gave out at 27K, so I paid over a hundred for a genuine Ford part. I mounted it, at great difficulty. I should have removed the coolant reservoir like you. Nonetheless, when I went to replace the engine to mount bracket, I noticed the difference, so I measured the height difference between old and new, and it is about an inch and a quarter. I was wondering if this might be the right part for the 4 cylinder, which might sit taller given that it's an inline. I can't seen to get a clear answer online. Update: Everywhere I look seems to indicate that the mount is the same for both the 4 and the 6 cylinder. So I guess I just need to assume the level of the engine was a factor of the collaped old mount. Ii was badly shot. Even the rubber was torn on the bottom. I called it a night when I saw this condition. Tommorw I'll prop up the engine to where the bracket fits, and if everything looks symentrical in the engine bay and underneath, I'll assume that's what it was. Any more thoughts?

[@WaterBearOfficial]

@@edwardbaker1331 I searched the part number across several retailers and they all fit the 2005 3.0 V6, and look identical to mine. Now Rock auto shows a hydraulic engine mount as an option in the parts search. The mount has a post that sticks out over the top- but doesnt share your part number. The one I installed and is flat on top. I measured it just now, it measures between 6 and 6 1/4 inches from base to top. Its dark at the moment so I cant be more precise.

[@WaterBearOfficial]

@@edwardbaker1331 Also Yes, per the Chilton Repair manual, it advises to raise the engine enough to take the weight off the mounts - placing a wood block between the jack and oil pan. Page 2A-31 in section 18.

[@edwardbaker1331]

@@WaterBearOfficial Got the job completed. I guess I was too conservative about popping up the engine, and my measurements were a little off. the new Ford mount was only about 3/4 inch taller, which is understandable comparing it to an exhausted mount. I too comparred a lot of cross references and everything checked. I am greatful for your effort and time. You're a gentleman and a pro. Good luck with your channel. God Bless.
