Engine mount

[billyfo]

we have a TSB for engine mount and I think I need to replace. but before I go to dealer, there are some aftermarket engine mounts, what do you guy think to have Mazda fix it for free:p , or spend some $$ to have a \"better\" one? thanks for the help.

Get it done free and then change it after if you dont feel a difference.

What aftermarket mounts are made for our car? i\'ve never seen any.

That\'s not the mount related to that TSB though.

I\'ve had vibration problems, mostly around the 2100 RPM mark. Unfortunately, 60km/h in 4th gear (2.0 MTX) is around 2100 RPM. The vibrations are felt through the steering wheel, pedals, shifter and centre console. :(

The vibration can also be felt when at standstill and revving the engine up to the 2100 RPM range. The car shudders and shakes quite a bit.

The number three engine mount has been replaced, but the vibration problem remained. Now I have had the nuumber three engine mount replaced a second time along with the number four engine mount. The vibration problem is much better now while on the move, it still shakes a bit at around 2100 RPM while standing still though. With the replacement of the engine mounts I now have a new \"noise\" when starting the car, a kind of \"thunking\" sound as the car starts, after that all is well.
