Good work on a tedious job. Suggestion to not scar up a customers engine covers like you did. Place a mat up on top of the cover if you're going to be working like that. One of the reasons no one touches any of my vehicles, small things like that make a job more professional. ; )

[@joemama-hc4gl]

When i saw it i said to myself "bro no, dont do that! Why'd you let it get scratch like that" ive had mine scratched like that. Not gonna lie, it hurt.

[@Iatolaazzahola]

@@joemama-hc4gl Right? When someone is paying me to work on their vehicle, it always goes back to them in better condition than it came to me in, with zero damage caused by doing normal maintenance. 3rd grade was long ago...

[@joemama-hc4gl]

@@Iatolaazzahola yes, its those little big details that make the difference between who do you call back or who do you call next. Pretty sure nowadays almost any mechanic can work on your car but not every mechanic will take into consideration to care for the car of unnecessary damages from their own doing while working on them. If you yourself fix other ppls cars and tries to prevent scratches, dings and dents let me just say- Thank you!

This is what's kind of annoying about these cars Same with the Odyssey and Accord from the same era These motor mounts go bad It seems like all the freaking time And what I don't understand is why didn't Honda do a recall on all of these cars And just fix the problem entirely by engineering a mount that doesn't fail so fast

[@fusionconroe]

Everything I’ve read online complains about how difficult replacing the rear mount is. But after watching your video (terrific, by the way) it seems fairly straightforward. Remove the strut bar, undo some bolts, move some wires out of the way, pull the vacuum line off, shimmy the whole mount out, and reverse all the steps. Time-consuming, maybe. But it certainly seems very do-able. Am I missing something, or is it really that simple?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Also dont forget you need to lift up the motor a little. But very straightforward

[@toatski]

About how much? As mine still has a tremendous amount of weight on it despite lifting the motor about an inch-

[@cdavid001]

I own a 04 TL and I change all of my motor mounts except that one that one was a challenge but not anymore thanks big guy good video very informative.

Did you use a jack to hold the engine in place?

I bought an ‘05 TL today. The engine is flopping around in the engine compartment but I’ve got $500 worth of new motor mounts, timing belt, water pump, valve cover gaskets and Intake tube and ready to get greasy.

[@carlyletom301]

I have an 07 and it idles rough in drive, but smooth as butter in reverse. I also get a heavy clunk when putting it back into park. I've changed the front, passenger side and trans mount (next to the battery), but it has the same symptoms. Not sure if it's a bad rear mount that's causing these symptoms.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

So you will put the car in drive WHILE HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL press the gas pedal and see if you hear a clunk/thump sound or feel. That will let you know the rear mount is bad. Repeat same procedure but in reverse. That will tell you if the front mount is bad or not

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Also you will get vibration still because the new mounts need to be broken in

Hi have a quick question; I have a 2002 acura tl type s 3.2.. I had my car sitting for a year because someone hit my front left and bent the spindle knuckle. I decided to work on it 3 weeks a go I replaced the spindle knuck, low ball joint,sway bar link, and upper control arm. After I finished I notice I had a strong viberation inside vehicle when I put car into drive or reverse and I didnt have that problem before the accident. Are you able to tell me what it may be

[@mothern0rth]

I came across your video because I recently replaced my mounts. However, on the front engine mount, the metallic vacuum tubing was missing, so I purchased a new set, however the upper tube came with a clip halfway between the upper tube. Now I don’t believe my car was worked on before but I am confused on where this clip is suppose to go. Could you possibly get in contact with me and send a photo of what I might be missing?

Hello my brotha how are you doing ?listen bro i have a question for you about the ball joints in a acura tl. I have a acura tl i was driving today and i hear a noise coming out from the left side of the car is like something clacking i thought is was my shocks and i take to the mechanic and he said is the ball joint. You can hear more when you turn the wheels and when you put the brake. My question is when the ball joint are bad they can give vibration to the car and when you driving you can felt the car without stability?

Sounds like a bad bushing in your lower control arm

I dont think is a bad control arm i changed like 6 months ago with the moog brand.. the noise make you think about the shocks but its in the lower side you can hear the noise coming from i know for sure is a bad ball joints but i dont know because this car use upper and lower can you recommend me to change both upper and lower.

They dont make you car vibrate ?

Im good thanks for asking. Where do you feel the vibration coming from

[@hanselldisla9571]

Thank bro, i think is from the engine because the car was good before i change the motor mounts i had the oem but the from side was broken and the upper transmission was broken too. Iam pretty sure the vibration comes from the engine because the sterring wheel dont move when you go at high speed you just feel the vibration

[@JaboTheMechanic]

@@hanselldisla9571 okay when putting back the motor mounts did you reconnect the vacuum lines and also what brand did you get again sometimes the vibration can take up to 500 miles to go away because the new motor mounts are stiff same thing for this car but it only did it in Drive at idle. You would feel vibration throughout the whole car because of the cheap motor mount that was used for this vehicle that was provided from my customer

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Oil pan with wood

[@adrianreyes2318]

why do motor mounts need a vacuum line???

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Active hydraulic mounts are like passive hydraulic mounts. In addition to fluid-filled chambers, active mounts also have a vacuum chamber. Engine vacuum is applied to the chamber, controlled by a vacuum switching valve (VSV). This enables the mount to adjust its stiffness, depending on the situation. At engine idle, the VSV opens, "loosening" the mount to absorb more vibration. As engine speed increases, the mount "stiffens" to absorb less vibration. Some active hydraulic mounts have their own controllers. These can induce a "counter-vibration" to further reduce engine vibrations. Because active mounts are expensive, be sure to check their vacuum lines and VSVs before condemning the mount, itself
