Acura TL Engine Mount Replacement | How To Replace A Worn Engine Mount With Basic Hand Tools

Replacing a worn engine mount at home. Easy enough to do and save some cash doing the work yourself.




A quick video on how to replace a worn engine mount. This is a hydraulic unit, as opposed to a fixed or 'regular' engine mount. The cost for this OEM hydraulic engine mount was $75. A fixed after-market engine mount can cost as little as $20.

Symptoms of a bad or failing engine mount includes excessive vibration, engine movement and noises from the engine bay.

Thanks just replaced mine today. I was going to get the oem one but no one near me had it in stock and would have to be ordered. I was trying to get it replaced asap so I went with the autozone one that was in your video since they had it in stock. Rattle noise I had is gone which I thought was a bad a strut.

Did you place your floor jack under the oil pan? If not where’s a good spot. I just need to swap out my mount near the power steering reservoir . Thanks.

You installed the mount BACKWARDS! There is an arrow engraved on the mount base which directs you which way to install it. This arrow needs to point towards the FRONT of the vehicle, NOT the rear like you did. Take this video down and redo it!

Did replacing this mount fix whatever symptoms you were experiencing? What symptoms were you experiencing? I've got vibration in the driveline. I know it's in the driveline because it happens more when I press the accelerator. A tire wouldn't do that, and I've already replaced the tires, and it didn't solve the problem. I suspect a motor mount, though it could be anything.

Seems like excessive mount wear for a relatively measley 100K miles.
