Excellent! Thanks again so much. Nothing like the s2ki community coming through every time!

 

What would the extra $40 (assuming I replace both mounts) get me that the OEM parts won't? Basically what's the benefit?

 

Benefit is annoying vibration and buzzing that you didnt have before The OEM oil filled, soft mounts dampen these type of noises. It makes the car feel like a $30k car instead of a $1k civic. Anyone who needs these aftermarket mounts for performance needs should learn to heel-toe and DRIVE SMOOTHER

Get OEM.

 

I wish I had done it myself--you make it sound 10x easier than most of the other instructions people gave on here (e.g. remove the exhaust, move the diff, etc.).

P.S. I'm glad to hear it's common and not a huge issue (Honda mech made it sound like it was from horrible abuse or something from the previous owner).

 

My blew up at last track day. Driver rear.

 

After consulting the Service Manual to identify the part, a quick search landed me right at this post! Thanks S2ki
Now I wonder if this is the reason why I've been hearing an increasing buzz noise coming from the rear? I've only noticed this leak on my garage floor this morning which lead me to lift her up and check...

 

How can one test for a failed LH rear diff mount? I'm not sure if all the fluid leaked out and was cleaned up so now there's no evidence of a fluid leak.

 

My was shot when I bought my car, I stuck a used one on there, Billman is right, heel and toe + rev matching is your friend. I don't granny my car at all, but I am smooth when it comes to downshifting etc. So far after 18k miles it's still holding up.

 

Does your car shake when you accelerate? Have nasty jerk when you shift to second gear? Is the mount ripped?

 

Speak of the devil mine just blew up again, oh well time to stop screwing around and order a brand new one instead of going used again.
