Thank you. My mom's vehicle has been jerking when accelerating from stop... but mechanics were saying they couldn't reproduce it, so they had to wait for it to get worse. It has been years... and this now points to a possible culprit.

[@gamingbullys1220]

Mines just gave the same problems i thought it was my transmission going bad it does it for a lil bit until long trips then it stops .

[@jorgerojas4388]

This is the same exact thing my 2012 civic had, I just changed it today

[@lexaalex1581]

The engine mount quality is cheap...these days company are producing very cheap quality products..they want us to buy again in a few days.

[@frankxu2321]

thanks for showing us how to check mounts using the bar, it's more easier than checking if silicon fluid start leaking out of the mount! So the engine torque mount under a civic indeed broken.... Must be too much torque from vetc!🤣

[@gerhardstrydom5249]

Cool. The top engine mounting is a scheduled replacement @ 90k kms on the civic. My top mounting lasted to 160k and I sold the car with 262k with the bottom engine mount still fine. Great car!!

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

Yea the best civic were the last few years of this model nothing goes wrong with them.

[@Raylude5]

Mustve been kicking in that Vtec lol. Now the question that you left us hanging with... did they authorize the other repairs 🤔😀

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

Just did the front brakes and that 1 mount. The rest he will be back when he's due for service.

[@travistutt9746]

Thanks. Wanted to know where the bottoms mount is. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@rubyred201ful]

I love this video 😢

[@agustincornejo6429]

I’m feeling a lot of vibrations inside the vehicle when in low rpm idling perfectly fine but I’m assuming it’s due to bad mounts I some time feel a slight jerk I’ll have to check them out thanks for the video.

[@brandonjaime86]

Thanks for this video. Im going to replace mine.

[@paulattea989]

Very helpful, thankyou

[@radisnooker5]

I have a 13 si with the same problem. Car jerks all the time in lower gears and when engine braking. Already replaced the upper mount but havent looked at the lower dogbone yet, will check it out

[@truthseeker1203]

What about when coming to a stop?

[@thetruth7633]

Same crapp mounts as Honda's built in Swindon UK (Civic hatchback 5d)

[@dropeipromundo]

thx

[@alexandru-gh]

My 2010 civic make some metallic noise only when decelerating or accelerating in first or second gear. Also is very difficult to change gears smoothly. Could be the same issue? Thx.

[@alex-wr7hg]

Are there only two mounts?😮

[@mikebeckers802]

There are four. The engine mount, the torque struts top and bottom, and one at the transmission too.

[@BrooksieYT]

Well anyone can help me out my back bolt on this mount is broken in half

[@krakenhits1587]

Is it hard to do these yourself?

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

No if you can get underneath

[@TMM6900]

Hey H Tech, I was servicing a 2018 CRV with 50,000KM on it. I was surprised seeing the a/c lines and compressor, and possible rear main seal leaking. Do you have experience seeing those things leak at such a early stage? I was shocked - I know Honda isn't as "reliable" as Toyota. But recent Honda's build quality is kinda questionable

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

Yea have seen a couple compressors and flexible a/c line leak. Not a rear main. But I feel like all manufactures are going in that direction in quality some more than others.

[@frankxu2321]

@@theoffroadingmechanic There are too many whispers about how car manufacture would like you trade in for a new car every five or three years... Designs are trading off repairability more and more.

[@gerardogil3682]

what is the best website to buy these parts from? I am trying to get all oem for each mount

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

Sorry not sure if I know one.

[@truthseeker1203]

Hondapartsnow

[@silverlion2378]

Is the oem honda mount stiff like hard plastic? I got an Anchor brand from advance auto parts and its like hard polymer not mushy rubber; is this normal?

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

They are pretty hard rubber and doesn't allow much movement when the engine is running. So yes it's normal
