Loose dog bone engine mount

No, that's not right..... You shouldn't have any washers and the strut rod bushing should have MT on it, not AT..... As a matter of fact even the bushing on the cross member is labled as MT or AT and they are slightly different when you compare them.....

I took it back and told him I need a motor mount that is for the torque rod and it has to be for a MT. He couldn't find anything in their books to determine what part is for MT or AT. So he found something he thought was it and it will be here tomorrow at 7am and I will look and see if it's the right part. I'm only gonna do the front bushing b/c from what I heard the rear one probably won't need it. It sounds like the right bushing b/c he said there's a rear and front. The front was like $21 but I got it for 19 with my student discount. So hopefully this will be the right thing. How will I be able to tell if it's for the MT? Will it have MT on the package or something?

Thanks for all your help guys.

Thanks a lot joker2. Hopefully I get the right thing this time b/c I'm gonna get up early and go there before school so I can put it in at school.

No problem, glad I could help

Finally got the right part and it says MT on the side. The car seems to be smoother (shaking wise).

So where did you finally end up getting the bushing???

**Mike's89AccordLX** · 12-11-2003, 03:11 PM

NAPA. And I got it for $19. It took about 4 minutes to install it b/c I was trying to do it with a 3/8 ratchet and then I got my 1/2 ratchet and it went easy. I just did the front one. Should I do the rear? I didn't think it needed it b/c it hardly moved.
