Motor Mounts

I did a search. I'm having a small vibration in the car. I'm in the 100,000+ plus club. After re-searching it seems like I need to replace all the motor mounts and it should solve my problem. How much should I pay for all 3 motor mounts installed if I provide them?

Shouldn't need all.. the passenger side will leek an oily liquid wen bad(mine went at 100k). Visibility noticeable the driver side rarely goes bad its just rubber. And the rear lower dog bone bushings will split... and u can get inserts or replace the hole thing

Performance interested get polyurethane ones

Hey thanks for the information. I figure if I'm going to replace one or two, I might as well replace all three. What kind of price should I be looking at for install of the 3?

I haven't decided on performance mounts or not, I do not do anything but daily commute in the car, so I don't know which route I'm going to go yet.

depends on if you want to replace with OEM or aftermarket, if you decide to go aftermarket you might be able to find all 3 for a little less than $100 maybe more if you look hard enough. For ford OEM closer to $200.

Replacing all 3 will be a good idea, just the passenger one will solve the problem, but because the age of the other 2 it wont last as long, better off doing all 3.

Check rockauto.com for great prices on aftermarket mounts.

I don't recommend all three poly mounts for a daily driver it cause a lot of in cab vibrations...

I changed all three motor mounts at 150,000, just because. It made a huge difference in noise and vibration reduction. Less than $200 for the mounts at the Ford dealer. They matched the O'Reilly's price.

Hugo, this is the information I needed to hear. Did you install OEM's? And I'm looking for how much I should pay for the install of the 3?
