DIY: Changing lower engine mounts

payaya · Post by **payaya** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:08 pm

I just got a rear mount from Repco for 55 bucks. Not sure how it will go but!

Cant believe but the intermittent vibration I had at idle is not gone!! I just matched up a front mount and it's 70 bucks from Repco.

So 55 bucks for rear mount and 70 bucks for front mount.

Found something while shopping for some parts for my 34

Tip front mount: MR131296
Tip rear mount: MR223674

The tip front engine mounts are EXACTLY the same (same part number) as the Lancer/Mirage CE / DEA 1.5 model ones

Front mounts from autobarn are 60bucks
Front ones i found at Lees Spare parts Springwood (brissy)
They are 95 bucks

Hope this helps .. Mitshu wants 140 for front and 195 for rears.. and its 3 weeks ETA from japland

Repco sell the rear mounts for 55. Exactly the same as the tip version. If your side mounts are sagged take care of them first. If you want the rear tip mount kelpro part number I'll try dig it up.

Also if you want a cheap fix to your mounts before buying new ones get sikaflex sealant 252 from bunnings fill in the mount let it dry for couple of days and put them back in. Worked a treat with my old mounts.

Vibration disappeared under load.

Sweet thanks for that I'd rather get new ones since they are cheap

Sweet ill try grab it.Your obviously getting vibration at idle? Did wonders for me. It's a common size and Repco stock them without order I'll dig it up tomorrow. Its a kelpro part number.

Rear auto mount part number is mt8419. I think fronts are 90. Take a sample in they match it up.

Check your front mount? Sika flex your old rear mount with sikaflex and same with the front and for me my vibration under load disappeared.

CBF reading the whole thread, was that solid centres or the tip variety?

Tip mate. But repco have a kelpro trade book and no doubt will be able to see which has a solid core.

f**king none of them. Went to both Repco & Bursons today, even had Bursons engine mount rep come down & none of them could supply a solid centre. He even argued that I dont need a solid centre

Back to Meek.

Is there a place where I can buy the full mounts from? (besides Camskill)

Don't have a press and would rather get the whole unit.
Cheers

Yeah the ones Bursons had were from http://www.transgold.com.au/home.html & they were whole mounts. $120 for both I thought was a real good price. Tip only though.

How do non-OEM mounts compare though?

Post by **Bennoz** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:38 am

Couldn't tell you. I've only used genuine, Ralliart & Poly.

Do you notice any difference besides NVH?

Mackay have a larger selection of mounts which is also through bursons.

They are exactly the same as the original mounts.
