Problem Reports

Independent tech inspection indicated mounts were shot and needed replacement, while checking compliance bushings, that were also shot. Replaced the mounts, but not the bushings, yet. Mount replacement did quiet some clunks in the front I thought might be suspension issues.

Problem since day 1 almost.

All of my engine mounts have been replaced, except for one. I have a rattling near my engine. Can that be the problem. The cost for replacement is $400.00 for a 1998 Honda V6, is that the normal cost for replacement in Los Angeles.

Mine - broken rear engine mounts.
I did not know they were computer controlled until today. I only believed engine mounts were basically cushioning blocks.
In Nov 2008, I had the same problem but completely forgot the vibrations (steering wheel, floor board, everywhere really) were caused by the broken mounts at that time.

So when they told me today (May 12 2012) it was the rear mounts, I recalled the earlier episode. And here I was getting my alignment and balance checked five times in five months, believing it was due to bad roads (with all cities having budget problems and not fixing roads - it was a good assumption). But when the alignment came out fine two of the times, I knew it had to be something else.

First time replacement in 2008, I had appx 95,000 miles on the car (I'm original owner). Vibrations were only while in motion, from 35 mph and up to 80 - it never stopped vibrating. No noise though of any kind. Not this time and not in 2008.

From Oct 2000 when I purchased, car was on west coast roads (California & Washington), from 2002 and on, east coast roads (Md, Va, DC).
If I weren't going to use the car as a trade in this fall, I would not get it done...

Broken front motor mount diagnosis, still not fixed because don't have the $125 the shop wants
