Description on the car - 2003 Accord 4 Door LX. Automatic transmission. 4 Cyl car.

Anyway, just got back from Good Year and they told me what I suspected all along. The car needs new motor mounts. It will need the front, back and side motor mounts. It is the cause of the engine vibration and it's just starting to get on my nerves already.

My question is, what would be the best parts store to pick them up from? I have a Autozone and Advanced Auto in walking distance. I have a very good mom and pop shop aswell that has been in business for years and are car experts so they get the best available parts. Then I have a NAPA about 20 minutes driving. Any suggestions?

Also, can these be replaced easily? Or am I better off taking them to GoodYear for replacinment considering I have to get the brakes and oil change done? I'm more than willing to do any work on the car if it will save a few bucks.

 

The best place would be ordering OEM ones from hondaautomotiveparts.com

Other than that check out rockauto.com, they carry most of the same brands as napa and advanced auto but have lower prices.

 

The front one up near the radiator is vacuum-operated. That one seems more important to get an OEM part. The other 4 (yes there's 5 total) are rubber mounts that can probably be other brands.

Since you said three, I'm guessing the 2 on the end of the transmission are OK?

 

To tell the truth, the guys at Good Year pretty much just described all three of them like I did. "The one in the front, back and side." I'll go and ask them tomorrow for a more specific answer.

As for that site, thanks for the link. I'll give them a call though cause to be honest, I'm confused as to how many things I'm supposed to order besides just the motor mount.

 

advanced auto and auto zone both sell or can order you the OEM mounts needed, but if you have a honda dealer near by order directly from the shop/online

 

Found a Honda Parts Center a few minutes away from my house so I will check them out. Thanks!

 

I'd go with official Honda.
