So my 2013 EX had some bad engine mounts so I bought a set of 5 to replace all of them, it had a slight vibration at idle and it drove me insane. After replacing all the mounts i got in the car to start it up and at idle it has even WORST vibration now, and yes I let the engine settle in properly by not tightening it all the way and revving it a little and then torqueing to spec. The car feels great when driving but when at stops or in park it feels terrible. It feels like I'm on a tractor. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or the mounts I got are just shitty. I've read that it could be the rear aftermarket mount that's the issue, being too stiff. I still have my old oem one that looks fine so I might try putting it back in. That rear mount is a bitch to get too, took me a few hours just for that one. From what I've seen on the internet no one has done a full replacement, or at least talked about it. if anyone has any idea what it could be that be great, thanks

The set I got on ebay: LINK.

It probably vibrates more because it's some cheap no name crap on eBay.

Had experience with this in my 7th gen. All original mounts were replaced by dealer, but because of parts shortage, they subbed in a NAPA brand rear engine mount. The only non-oem mount was the rear one- and it was so bad. So even one aftermarket mount can really mess up the entire feel.

I have learned the hard way to avoid aftermarket front and rear engine mounts. The sides don’t seem to be a problem with aftermarket.

The one with vacuum port (front?) is more likely the culprit. As far as I understand, the primary purpose of active mounts (those have a vacuum port) is to modulate the vibration at idle.

I do think that the rear has a vacuum port, but I'm not positive. I've seen conflicting information.
But from the way the vibration was resolved by replacing the aftermarket rear on mine, I wouldn't discount the possibility of the rear mount.

The rear one does not have a vacuum port on the i4 9th gens, I'ma try to switch the front with the old part, that one is vacuumed, and see if it makes a difference first, mostly because the rear one is a nightmare to get to 🥲

PROBLEM SOLVED: It was 100% the front engine mount, threw the old one back in and it feels so much better. Moral of the story, don't ever get aftermarket vacuum ported mounts, if it's just a normal rubber mount it should be fine.

I replaced my engine mounts with eBay mounts and it was fine, they were the lowest price I can find, still going strong.

Where did you get the 3rd party mount from?
