I've developed a vibration in the front of the car. I happens mainly while the car is accelerating under load and goes away when you take your foot off the accelerator. It also has a slight vibration while idling. Had a mechanic look at it and he said it's most likely a shot engine mount or mounts!! He then thought CV's but they were replaced not to long ago.

I'm assuming this may be a common problem and was looking at what it would cost to get them replaced. I'm thinking other guys have had to get them replaced, so i'm after a price guide so I'm not getting shafted on price.

Also any recommendations on mechanics in Newcastle!!

Cheers

i think mitsu sell the main one for $150

Is that the drivers side top one?? I did a bit of searching and this seems to be the main one that tends to need replacing.

The rear engine mount in my KJ is rooted. It has 3 or 4 cracks in it that are weeping oil. I also get engine shudder under acceleration.

Just been speaking to Megatron today and i'm ordering a polyurethane mount (race/hard spec) for $110 delivered.

I also get vibrations if I boot it even at 100kph. Also feel a vibration when cruising at different speeds, feels like the wheels are unbalanced even though their not.
Does yours do the same??

Yes i sometimes do get vibrations when im already at cruising speeds and decide to boot it. I also get vibrations when stationary at traffic lights in D for example. But if i put the auto in N the vibrations go away.

3rd Gen engine mounts are crap and i wouldn't go for a Mitsu one again. Go for poly engine mounts as from what i've read on the forums they are much better than the oil filled Mitsu ones.

How hard are they to fit or should I get a mechanic to fit it??

PM sent i have one will fit it when you come around tomorrow it only a 5 minute job
