Which motor mount parts do I need to order?

[_Madman_]

I need to replace my motor mounts badly, and I'm ready to order the replacement. However, from what I gathered via searching, polly mounts are not direct replacement, right?

I am about to order this kit:

But I have no clue what else do I need if my stock mounts are worn out.

Can anyone help me out please?

If your stock front and rear mounts are shot, then you need to get new ones. The drivers side and tranny mount don't matter because you remove the rubber part to put in the new poly mount.

Here is a very good how-to on installing these - http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=270117&highlight=prothane

In the Extreme PSI picture, the two black mounts are the ones that need to be in good condition as those are only inserts (they reinforce the stock mount). The two silver mounts are full replacements (as seen in the how-to).

All you need to order is that kit and then get working!

Which of your motor mounts are bad? If the lower front and lower rear is bad, you need to get new MITSUBISHI ones from the dealership or similar. The prothane and energy suspension ones are INSERTS that you place on TOP of your factory lower motor mounts. So if your factory ones are bad, you can't use the prothane/ES ones.

As for the tranny and the upper motor mount, they are replacements, you take the factory ones out and press them in. I decided to just go with the lower motor mount inserts, I didn't want to deal with a vibrating car with all prothane mounts.

Thank you for the quick replies!

So far it seems that the driver side and tranny mounts are the ones that are shot. Then again, I will try to find the prices of front and rear mounts, and maybe I'll just get them in one go if they are not too expensive. The part numbers for the front and rear mounts that I have to leave seems to be MB844274 and MB844289, right? If they are the ones I need, then stealership asks 130$ for MB844274 and 160$ for MB844289

Not to turn this into a vendor reviewed thread or anything, but has anyone ordered from them?

I personally have had a great experience with them (plus they're in PA so we get our stuff very fast!). But here are some more reviews for you:

I was actually referring to the South West Mitsubishi website posted above. As for Extreme PSI, I order from them all the time.

Sent you a PM about them so I don't get in trouble.
