Some Honda Civic owners report experiencing various issues when replacing motor mounts, such as the performance differences between aftermarket and OEM parts, with aftermarket mounts often made of hard rubber rather than the oil-filled design of original Honda parts, potentially affecting longevity and vibration dampening. Additionally, some users have noted problems with screw quality when switching to OEM mounts, where replacing old screws can help reduce vibrations caused by poor conditions. Proper installation techniques are also crucial, as failing to support the motor and loosen other mounts during installation can lead to improper alignment and persistent vibrations. Furthermore, some owners find that even after replacing the mount, vibrations may continue due to problems with the bracket connecting the mount to the motor, emphasizing the need for thorough inspection. Warranty replacements may not always resolve these issues, as cases exist where replacing the transmission mount and torque dog bones did not eliminate vibrations, highlighting the importance of diagnosing the root cause. Lastly, front motor mount breakage is a common concern, necessitating replacement to restore functionality and eliminate vibrations.
