I recently changed my rear motor mount with a part that I ordered online that came from Taiwan because every time I would accelerate the car it would make a cracking like noise under the engine on the driver side. Shocking that after replacing the bad motor mount in less than two days the new one also went bad.

I’ve been thinking about buying the dealer one because I was told that it should be a very good quality but I’m not sure. What are my options? What’s an economical way to resolve this inconvenience? Thanks for the help.

Are the actual mounts bad or just the inserts? I'd just search ebay instead of going straight to the dealer. Look around and save yourself some money.

The metal part is not broken or cracked but the inside rubber like material is cracked. And I think it could be only the rear one because the noise comes from that area.

Actually, that doesn't sound like a motor mount problem. I could be wrong though. I'm almost 100% sure your new one did not go bad. See if you can pinpoint where it's coming from and take a listen to your exhaust manifold it could be build up. The noise stopped when you replaced your mount though right? It'd be easier if you posted a video of the noise because I'm still not exactly sure of what it sounds like.

Also i heard that its recommended to change all mounts when one goes bad, because the new one gets the extra stress from the older ones. still though like stepsascend said, check.

I 2nd warup89, below is a link that I'm seriously considering. for the money i don't think you can beat it, I contacted the seller and he said they come with a 1yr warranty.

His mounts are fine, the other inserts might be bad. I don't think it has anything to do with them, but if they are bad you should replace them regardless.
