question about motor mounts

[jlocurto]

alright so before i buy any motor mounts i was just wondering how hard they actually are to swap out?

 

[nig3]

not hard if you just talking about the bottom one. takes 10-15 minutes

Use Lock-tite The First Time

 

[mrjoshyman]

do you have ramps or jack/jack stands? Some basic size sockets? and 15 minutes?

Its really quite simple and when you take out the stock mount and compare it to your new one, you will be surprised mazda let the MS3s come to consumers with that bad mount

It helps not to consult morons.

The inserts can be a slight PITA though. I was wishing I had an actual replacement mount when I did it. Had to get the neighbor to help pull the engine forward so I could get the stock mount with inserts back in.

I installed the TRZ in about 10 min. Easy install, and great response with the new mount!

Yep..do it right the first time...TRZ FTMFW.

 

[jlocurto]

is there a difference between the different brands? i mean its just a motor mount..

 

[viper117630]

I think there is big difference between mounts. The TRZ is a complete different design then the other mounts and also the stiffness is a big factor. The TRZ is the only one I've tried since stock but I would never go back. You cant beat it for the price either.

For instance, I have heard that the cp-e mount, although pricey, has stock level vibrations but is incredibly stiff = better traction, etc.
