Creaking upon acceleration in 1st gear.....

[doktorchili]

I have replaced all three of my motor mounts, and 5k miles later I've noticed something is creaking under my hood when I start off in first gear. I don't know if it does it in any other gears because of the ambient noise. I assume it's the motor mounts making the noise, but I don't want to take everything apart again. (I can't put my car on jacks at my apartment, so I'd have to find someplace that will allow me to work on it.) Could it be the motor mounts seating themselves, and I need to go back in and tighten them up? When shooting rifles, you always retighten your optics and bipod legs after firing a few rounds because they seat themselves properly and are usually loose.
Thanks,

Might be helpful if you name the brand of motor mounts. Some have had problems and fixes have been issued. The best thing to do is at least pop the hood and to a visual inspection yourself to see if anythings off.

I have the Medieval rear mount and am having the same issue. Not sure where it is coming from, but it only happens when moving forward.

I assume these are poly bushings in these mounts? Might want to squeeze some high-impact white lithium or bushing grease to ease the creaks.

Would Mobil-1 Synthetic grease work?
