    Engine Mount Recommendations

    My 99 I-4 vibrates when fully stopped and the car is in drive (the vibration stops in neutral)....after doing some research on this forum, it seems it may be the engine mounts. Does anyone have any good recommendations on after market mounts? What should I be looking for (material, cost, etc)? If anyone has suggestions on where to buy them, that would be beneficial as well. BTW, the mounts are original and I have nearly 200k on the G.

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't recommend prothanes for an auto tranny. This mount has been covered before where the car will vibrate good when in drive. Auto tranny and prothanes is a no lol.

    I would probably get oem replacements and hope for another 200k =)

    Just don't buy the mounts from eBay, they wont last long, the pass mount won't fit properly, and the rear won't last long..
    Good thing I didn't get the tranny mount too I got that from autozone.

    I'm in serious need of these mounts too, perhaps all four. I've been reading that is more cost efficient to just buy the inserts (not prothanes), and OEM for the tranny (As per final8ta and keith6110's recommendations). Now, which brands/online store would be the best to order the inserts from?

    Thanks.

    U think that they be the same. Their not, I was installing the pass mount and was having a problem, turns out the studs on the motor side flare out on the base and my eBay mount didn't do that it was a straight diameter so when I was installing it it cracked, returned it and got my money back and did the home made method to a solid mount till I order prothane.
    The rear mount didn't last at all
    Only mounts I got from autozone was the tranny mount and front roll stop
