Helps with excess engine movement
In my ongoing attempts to remove rattles and thumps from my wife’s van as it goes down the road, I decided to replace the engine/transmission mounts. The front mount I could clearly see had some cracks in the rubber and assumed the rest were probably in a similar condition. The mounts arrived fine and appear to be of good quality; there’s no way to test the rubber strength other than to give them a go and see if they hold up. I did the front center mount first, that’s the quick and easiest. You will need a jack; two is actually better. One to raise the center of the frame of the engine up a bit for more working room and then a second to push up on the oil pan a bit during the replacement to take weight off the mount. Take a look online at videos, they’re easy to find and helpful to watch beforehand. The passenger side, under the air pan was almost as easy. I took a little extra time because I needed to replace the attached grounding wire (engine to frame) that had broken loose. For me, each of these two was maybe 30-45 minutes? On to the driver’s side. This entails removing the battery and battery mount pan. Not too tough but takes a few minutes. There’s 6 bolts for this one. 2 vertically oriented ones on the frame, 2 on the transmission and then 2 horizontal into the frame. These 2 horizontal are the sticking point in the process. Because of clearance issue at the bolt head, you must use a box wrench to remove, which is harder and slower, THEN when the bolt is about ready to come out, the transmission portion blocks it; the bolts seem too long. Again watch some videos. The trick is to try to work the head of the bolt into small cavities cast into the transmission portion (an upright rectangular “tower”) and keep wiggling it. A magnet stick might help, also raising or lowering the transmission some to help with alignment can help. They WILL come out. To aid in putting them back in with the new mount, I first took those 2 bolts and ground down the bolt tips about an 1/8 inch, taking off most of the portion that doesn’t have threads. This little trick saved me a LOT of hassle getting them re-inserted and they still threaded in perfectly fine. Line up the remaining 4 bolts, snug them up and take the jacks out, re-install battery and such. SO, I have NOT done the 4th mount yet, under the rear of the engine. Supposed to be the worst. In test drives, between this fix, a front brake job, and sway bar links/bushings, the car is MUCH quieter going over small bumps and road cracks. If I finish and go on to install the 4th mount, I’ll update this review.

Good mounts
Purchased for my sister in-law, they installed nice and smooth, no modifications needed. Unfortunately I had to lower the subframe on the 2014 Chevy traverse. But they are still working great

Good-ish Budget Option 2006 Mercury Milan V6
Torque mount and engine mount fit well. Transmission mount was not easy to install and didn’t really fit well. Seemed like they got beat up in shipping; probably could’ve used more packing. But it didn’t affect how they functioned. Eliminated my vibration and completely changed how the car feels! (We’ll see)
