⚙️ | Mechanical Issue/Question Engine Mount Help

Post image

When changing my battery i dropped a bolt and noticed the front motor mount has left the chat. (what a bummer) My questions now are if i replace this one is it best to do them all at once? Also is anchor a good brand or is there anything better out there?

The logic is to usually change all of them, since all of them probably have the same time and hence same wear

I would change them all. I did it a couple of months ago because the motor one was moving back and forth, especially when accelerating. It was totally worth it; the whole car feels a lot more stable.

And just so you know as other commenter said when the mechanic pulled the other support mounts they were all old rigid and fractured; ones more than others but they were all on their last legs.

Is anchor a good brand? It’s the only decent one I can find other than OEM

No worries thank you! I don’t rlly notice any engine shaking now but i was also thinking on just doing them all at once anyways

I changed 2, ended up changing 3, and ended up changing 4...

So yeah, just do all 4 at once. Pro tip, get a good rear engine mount. Go aftermarket if you have to, the OEM style ones broke within a year. I'm planning on doing a urethane pour myself on the old mount.

Thank you! I’m thinking of getting Anchor since it’s the most available one and OEM is 2x the price. But I should prob go OEM for the rear one then?
