Ford Focus Engine Mount Vibration Repair 2012-2017

[@kennethgentry3916]

Great job. I've worked on a variety of cars for 55 years plus. This is a perfect video for anyone with a a bit of mechanical skills. Bravo.

[@manunava1776]

Brother, great video!! I was taking the maf & throttle body out of my 2012 Focus today for cleaning when I saw the mount was thrashed! I was wondering why she had been running really rough & ragged lately!! Thanks for the clear & concise explanation as to the steps taken to complete the job. Keep it up!!!

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad it helped!

[@wishbone20t]

I was cheap and just got the inside part of the mount $19 on Amazon. What an amazing difference!, I think my car was vibrating since I got it 6 years ago. It's a completely different car. It took me literally maybe 30 to 40 minutes.

[@salt_4_salt348]

What was the inside part called?

[@GSF404]

​@@salt_4_salt348Something along the likes of Right Engine Mount - Hydro Mount (as believe it or not these things have hydraulic fluid in them).

[@davr9289]

Excellent video! Very informative. My 2013 is doing the vibration just like my 03 Focus did. Thanks again. I’ll be doing this repair myself soon.

[@bpd223]

Thank you SO much! My wife had her car at the dealership for a post-accident repair, and they told that she needed to have the motor mount replaced. Can you believe the quoted her $778 for this repair?! After a trip to O'Reilly ($110), 15 minutes of labor from the time I drove on the ramps and stabilized the motor, a ratchet, two extensions, and two sockets, this was done-- with all tools put away! You are awesome! My wife's car is a 2016 Ford Escape.

[@FalconsGarage]

You're welcome! Glad I was able to help you guys save money!

[@jasondelaria7822]

Great video and easy to follow. My 2013 Focus is running smoothly now with thanks to you sir. Thank you!

I have a 2012 ford focus that vibrates and rattles constantly. My husband and I watched your video and he replaced it with no problems. No more vibrating or rattling...yay! Thanks so much!!

This is great video & helpful for non mechanical person like me BUT for me, it didn't go as planned, when I took off the old mount, the motor shifted back several inches even though I had it supported with jack. First I thought part was wrong but it aligned same as old part & broke down calling my very expensive mechanic, he couldn't offer me help other than telling me to get crowbar & rock motor back/forth. Unfortunately, I didn't have that but walked the neighborhood dug up street sign & found a few 2x4's which all helped me move the engine back in position with also some repositioning of the jacks. After 3hrs, I got it installed & seriously feels like I'm driving a brand new car & my 2012 Focus has 160K mi. Thank you for this video. My next issue, since last week I get warning my Hill Assist is off & now 4-5X each day it warns me to check it. I might change some fuses but can you offer some more free advice. Thank you!

[@FalconsGarage]

sorry you had those issues .. but yeah that happens sometimes and best thing to do is just that force it back .. GLAD you got it fixed and can feel the difference .. have you tried unplugging the battery just to reset the codes (or clearing the code) just to make sure the code comes back?

[@matthewkrit6403]

Thank you bro, always leave a comment when it really helps. This seems to be the best video on KZbin. Great job bro. A bit hard to get my coolant reservoir out, rest was much easier

Amazing. Swapped out the mount and the car hums so quietly now. Thank you!

Thanks forbthe video! I have to do my wife's car this weekend. The guy at the shop was trying to charge me $389 to do it!

[@rpqueenentertainment-hg5tx]

Good morning, are you a mechanic ? I need the mounts replaced on mine and these shops are ridiculous the prices. Meinke is $923, this shop called Taylor Auto is $546 and the high dealership is $700. I am still checking around to see who can do it cheaper.

[@Poncesponce]

nice video thank you 🙏 the dealer tell me all motor mounts all damaged the estimate $979 and i replaced just the one you are replacing and just cost me $129 because i don’t want to wait the shipping from amazon

[@topher6_9]

[@jbattison]

Nice video with good instructions. Will be doing this in the next week or 2. Thanks!!!

[@kevinparker2071]

Awesome, thank you. Ford wanted almost 3gs for this.

[@FalconsGarage]

all that for one mount? maybe they said al of them?

[@joshjohnson6891]

They always make it look so easy on videos lol but this actually doesn't look too bad. At least you don't gotta do too much underneath where you can't see or get to anything. I suspect this may be an issue I've been having. Vibration or rattling sounds coming from the dash.

[@FalconsGarage]

good luck with the repair

[@mikekeenam3014]

I get clunks when changing gears mainly 2nd and 3rd abd 4th gear. I had clutch and flywheel changed but still does it. Would this stop clunking I have oil leaking out if my engine mount now as well

[@jasonwhite7699]

Thanks for the video it's going to help me out a lot.

[@FabianoArruda]

Mine is a 2016 powershift, I noticed that in addition to the coolant reservoir, there is also an AC pipe going on top of the engine mount. I guess it makes it a bit harder to pull off.

[@chaos1583]

i just saw mine and its cracked from the base on the engine on the screw. is that a single part or is it going to have to be welded ?

[@harlyman2011]

good video. do you happen to know if the mounting bracket that the engine mount attaches to is replaceable? or is it welded onto the block. My friend broke the mounts on his the treads are still in the engine mount but the engine is almost on the ground.

[@FalconsGarage]

I believe that's part of the "timing chain cover" so I think if you replace that you would be good.

[@rudymathers7686]

Super interested in replacing my mount now but one quick question would this be the issue while is accelerates and it also spudders when shifting or it shakes when shifting and its more common at that point

[@FalconsGarage]

no, that sounds like a different issue

[@rudymathers7686]

@@FalconsGarage thank you

[@yungjavfromaz]

Could be the transmission shudder recall if it's an auto. I had mine replaced and it fixed that issue. The sputtering could be from the purge valve recall also cuz it creates a vacuum leak and it'll eventually make the car stall at red lights.

[@rudymathers7686]

@@yungjavfromaz would the recall still be available if its a salvage vehichle
