Hello,

I dropped my car to my mechanic last night for him to replace Engine mounts.

Now, I am feeling that I am driving a new car. I didn't believe new mount can make all the difference.

FYI,

I bought just rear mount without bracket. $44(He opened bracket and took old out and pressed new one in)

Front Engine mount $125

Transmission mount $47

Dogbone mount i replaced it by myself last week.(Autozone 8201 for ~$36

Labor i will know tomorrow. I am assuming ~$200 (He priced me for front and rear pressed $140)

Thanks,

Hey camlex,

What do you notice a difference in? Do new engine mounts solve any noise issues (like the infamous clunking)? Does the car just feel tighter?

I have a '97 also and am wondering if engine mounts would improve the car.

Hello,

After I had just stopped from a stop sign or light and began driving I used to feel a tapping noise in my steering wheel. Now when I drive, that feeling in my steering wheel is gone. I feel like I have lots more control and it feels more sturdy like a newer car. When you are changing from Park to Drive , it no longer jerks and delays. Hope this will help.

Thanks,
