If you have the v6 these will work, I know of one other member, boostzealot. He has them and said they work well. You are going to notice that when the car is as idle there will be a little more vibration and when it shifts it will be a little bit harder of a shift.

nope i have the 4 cyl..should i just buy the specific galant motor mounts?? cuzz the inserts are under 100 but if i go with the galant motor mounts im paying additional 100 for the new mounts + inserts..
Ive searched any many people has said inserts does cause vibration if your car is not a performance car?? does any one who have motor inserts clear this up??

No the the V6 and I4 mounts are diffrerent.

no they dont fit look for eclipse4cyl mounts and galant 4 cyl mounts but first MAKE SURE your motor mounts is whats causing the vibration. if they are then do this http://www.raktron.com/misc/mt.htm look for used mounts if you cant afford having your car down.

Since no one else mentioned it, replacing the inserts is a major pain in the ass. Those of us that have done it or tried, usually resorted to a blowtorch to burn out the old inserts, then a press or a vice to put the new ones in the old mounts. It's much easier to buy the mounts with the urethane inserts already in them. As for vibration, I've had urethane mounts on my motor for several years and the vibration isn't that annoying. Yea, it's not going to feel as smooth as a CVS when it idles, but it's not going to rattle your fillings out of your teeth either. It IS going to eliminate any wheel hop and transfer more traction to the ground than stock mounts and urethane mounts will last for the life of your car.
