Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If you have the tools and the skill, you can replace just the rubber part for cost of $35 or so. A full motor mount of the newest design is about $120 and is a bolt in job.
I replaced the motor mount myself, royal pain in the ass without a lift. II think I'd rather spend $200 more and get it done by a reliable indie. Doing it yourself takes about as day with the car on jack stands.
I have to disagree...took me 2 hours. Just lift the back and put on jack stands as always (or use ramps). Put jack under engine, lift engine a few inches to take weight off of front mount, put another jack stand beneath the motor to relieve floor jack, unbolt mount and cuss a bit while you snake it through the coolant hoses. thats all there is to it. If it wasn't for the coolant hoses, it would be a 30 minute job.
I agree, just replaced mine this morning. Took about 2.5 hours and that was peckering around. A friend came down after the car was up on stands and we knocked it out painlessly. Now doing it, I think I can do it again in about an hour. Nothing really gave us any trouble, just got to twist and turn it the right way and its done.
