Got New Motor Mounts...ahhhhh!
All I can say is DON'T WAIT!
If you need motor mounts, just get em!! I paid $102 each from Sunset, and $240 to have them installed. What a difference! No more vibration when I start up, no more vibration in the shifter, no more harsh shifting into first, no more rough idle! Feels like a much newer car.
My old mounts weren't worn out either. Mechanic says they were down by 10mm--they didn't NEED to be replaced. But still...makes the car even more fun to drive.
Rant over!

$240 to install?
I wish I lived next door to you. I could work on your car for half what the mechanics charge you and still make a good living.
The difference new mounts make is amazing isn't it?

I ordered the mounts from Paragon yesterday, and am looking forward to do the installation. My car shakes quite a bit while idling, and the right one is mostly collapsed.

Wait till you see the difference! I used to turn the key, and brace for the vibrations and shakes. Now, it feels like the motor isn't even on (well, almost)!
