I just checked my engine mounts by putting my VRS in gear with the handbrake off & rocked the car back and forth from the front. There was noticeable movement from the engine & from the O/S mount.

So I decided to replace all the engine mounts including the dog bone mount, how easy is it to replace them all by yourself? I believe that the dog bone mount just unbolts & the new one bolts back on. However, do I need to jack up the engine for the O/S one like you need do for the gearbox one? And where is the best place to jack/support the engine?

Also, where is the best place to buy the mounts? It seems that AVS don’t stock them & ECP only sell the O/S mount & it’s currently out of stock. Is there a good place to buy them that’s relatively cheap but are good quality. Some people sell them on eBay but I don’t want to risk buying bad quality ones that break after 1 week.

 

Thanks.

Quiet in here. Is everyone on holiday?

Anyway, hopefully someone can verify if these parts are OK for a 2003 VRS:

I can't find they anywhere cheaper.
