Look for YouTube user "ghostlyrich". He posted how-to vids also, and I posted the torque numbers for all of the mount nuts and bolts in the comments on one of them.

I’m more of a pen and papers kinda guy. JBR already has how-tos and MUCH more. Try link below and you just might like what you see 
. They offer good/quality stuff.

Is that the famous E-Focus mount? Did it ever smooth out at idle for you? There is noticeably more rubber in that mount than the one next to it in your comparo photo... I am so conflicted about doing mine due to the expense. On the one hand it should be done before the dead mounts cause some other thing to fail. But on the other hand, I don't have three hundred or so bucks laying around, and mine really isn't that rough at idle yet....

Uploaded the RMM pic above. Note, the threading for the horizontal bolt is different, reuse vertical bolt.
There should be no conflict. IMO, tackling the motor mounts should be a 3 step process. Do the PMM first @ <$100 and takes 30mins? You will love driving it again. This is 99.99% likely the first to fail. I'm positive a lot of folks are broken but they just don't realize it b/c they are use to it and accept it as the norm. Do the RMM if you are a "no wheel hop and instant power to ground" fan but trade-off is slightly more vibration. The TMM is last recourse since it does involve removing a bunch of stuff to get to. My RMM and TMM looked OK. Vibs settled down a little bit can still "feel" it.
The PMM, not so much. (No, it is not suppose to be like that. It should be enclosed)
Both OEM. See post #13. Transitive theory WIN
I can only say this is technically NOT RECOMMENDED, is bigger, is stiffer by ~3-4 times, cost LESS, has 3-4 revisions, and you can add a counter balance weight (MS3's PMM comes with this and why it cost 2x but our layout does not fit it without having to relocate some stuff). Otherwise fits/works perfectly.
@ Loosenut - you'll like it!

Thanks for all the investigating into this. I just installed the newer second gen mount into my 09. I used part number BBN3-39-060B. Last weekend I installed the E-Foucs mount as well.

EDIT: I believe my DEA mount that I put in about 15 months ago is failing and causing the vibrations I am getting so now the quest for a replacement begins
Curious if anyone has tried replacing the bushing inserts for the PMM and how difficult the process is. Never did find a video showing how to do it. I know they are cheaper and won't last but you could get 2 of them shipped from Rockauto for about $10 each and replace it once a year as opposed to spending about $100 for the OEM mount that may last a few years

DEA also makes a heavy duty version of the bushing. Looks like the one that Silentnoise changed to back in October. Perhaps he can confirm

I also saw that JBR now has a PMM. I'm guessing the vibrations would be insane but something else to consider if you have $185 around

I didn't use an insert so can't comment on them. I would not oppose to using one IF there's a quality replacement insert.

My fault. I've only seen that larger PMM as an insert. Is that the Roca on the right?
- :
- 2008 Mazda5 GT
Not the Roca. It is OEM.
See post #13 and #28. I prefer folks to understand "why" instead of doing it just b/c some internet says so. Few posts above even offers a suggested part number.

I re-read a few more times and I see this now. So the pic above is two OEM mounts
Left is P/N BCM439060D
Fits the following models:
Mazda 3, 2004-2009
Mazda 5, 2006-2010
Right is P/N BBN339060A
Fits the following models:
Mazda 3, 2010-2013
Mazda 5, 2012-2013
But what your saying is you put the newer mount in your '08 and it fit?

Swenny , That is correct. The newer mount BBN339060A will work in the older 5's. I have a 09 that I just did this to a few weeks ago.

Well crap. Wish I would have known that before I ordered the older one. Blah

I replaced my PMM over the weekend with the 1st gen mount. I'm pretty sure the most important part of this is making sure the bolt hole is centered in the mount hole. My car is quiet again so I am happy
Disappointed in the DEA mount that only lasted about 15 months though. Here's some pics
Old one on the left:

New one:
Also, if anyone is looking for an Anchor insert, I'll sell it for $10 plus shipping. I did try removing the old insert off the DEA mount and it came off pretty easily using a vice and a pry bar so replacing the insert is a doable option but I don't know how long it would last
