I bought all three mounts as a set on Amazon for $70 in early 2024. swapped them out with a floor. Jack and a few handtools, took an hour and 15 minutes working casually. The car feels like it’s brand new.
I just installed the 3rd passenger side motor mount and the other two just once in the 130.000 miles. If changing it again in the future i will try the OEM mount. Nice video thanks for sharing.
Thanks very helpful information. I knew the OEM passenger side engine mount was fluid filled, but I didn't know the aftermarket one was not. Good looking out DC!
Great info, I've replaced the main mount on my focus and as you say, the aftermarket mount doesn't last long. Also, the steering pump whine is like the filter in the reservoir, another common Focus problem.
I Bought a 2005 focus with a lot of shakes mostly in idle and in drive waiting at a red light. I just changed my transmission side mount with an after-market one. The shaking has improved a lot. Next, I will do the torque mount to see if there is any further improvement. The engine side looks brand new and is OEM with a ford sticker on it.
I just ordered mounts for my 2007 Focus. I ponied up $105 and got the passenger mount from a Ford dealer. I went with Anchor for the other 2, $20 a piece.
If you swap all mounts and it feels worse you have another problem causing the vibrations mine was half the main crank pulley ( which is an dampener) and the gearbox ! Changed pulley it got halted changed gearbox as had a stiff gear one and now NO vibrations And I’m using aftermarket mounts… but that was my problem now car is a dream to drive 💪🏽
I have an 06 zx4 5 speed manual, whenever I go to take of the front passenger side has alot of vibration and sometimes feels smooth mainly vibrates when gas is applied leading me to this video
Hydraulic oil on rubber... what could go wrong? Love the Focus but these are more planned obsolescence crap just like the lifetime air filters.. Polyurethane mounts is a much better option.
that one bolt on the chassis that you were feeling was kinda not tightening anymore, mine is stripped to oblivion and its impossible to remove too it infinitely spins, what makes it worse is I've tried loosening it from the top an pushing it up from the fenderwell but its just stuck in place. do you know how i could remove it? I'm thinking drilling it out and making brand new threads OR using a bolt and a nut with washers on the bottom
New OEM passenger side mounts for the 2005-2011 Focus are nowhere to be found, as Ford has seemed to discontinue them. So the question is, are there any decent aftermarkets? There are hydraulic aftermarkets.
i bought a 07 focus 2l for autox and the dude jacked the engine up under the trans engine connection and it sets slanted now. i thought there was some oil under the left front tire. any idea what this might from?
i replaced all three with aftermarket, using just the insert for the passenger side mount. the car had 88k miles at the time. now the focus is smooth as new. i'll let you know how long they last, by update.
@@datwinz3927 replace all three. take pictures of the passenger side top mount before disassembly to see how it fits back. i only bought the rubber isolator so it need to fit into the old mount...good luck. my focus is an 07 automatic four door sedan ses. you will still need to isolate a lot of other components, in particular the exhaust system and it's shields. after all that it is very quiet.
My son has changed amounts on his focus numerous times over the last two years this car absolutely eats motor mounts don't buy crappy mounts from RockAuto or anybody else buy them directly from Ford they're going to cost more but they're going to last. It's a shame nobody makes a good urethane Mount or something a little more solidly constructed. I guess you're a thing wouldn't be the best choice but cuz it's still going to vibrate but probably not as bad and the a mount will last
On amazon it says that it dosent fit my 2007 focus, but when I looked at all the trims they said that none of them would work with this oem? Am I just dumb?😂
So the oem mounts on the original Fords are absolute garbage and this is a known issue, so we should replace them with the same garbage Ford motor mounts?
By garbage you mean lasted 10 yrs? I installed aftermarket mounts that only lasted weeks before vibrations started. Ill be happy to get a few yrs out of the OE mount.

Great video, I also have a ford focus from 2007 and I will most likely be doing this upgrade too soon.
My 2007 has the same vibration,
I will try the motor mount THANK YOU.
I love the vibration
That is very helpful, thanks Dustin.
Great explanation and video.

go with OEM for the torque one as well. Used after market on all three, two failed and I got OEM main one and torque and all is good again.
Thanks for the info
Cool dude thanks for this video !!

Had the same problem with Volvo s40 d2 engine, with aftermarket motor mount the problem did not dissapear.
Before you changed the bad one out did it sometimes clink almost like it was metal on metal?

There are two other mounts. What is the OEM part number for the transmission mount and roll restrictor?

When you replace that power steering pump make sure you replace the resivore with it.
DEA/Marmon makes a hydraulic aftermarket heavy duty mount. Lifetime warranty.
Why not use thread locker ?

Bro I got the oem part at the dealership for my 2010 today $133! Debating trying to install it myself I'm no mechanic 😏
Paid 40 on Amazon u got ripped
@@gfriedman99probably but for the aftermarket and this not recommended

The OEM and aftermarket mounts are both garbage as it seems. The OEM are slightly less garbage.
By garbage you mean lasted 10 yrs? I installed aftermarket mounts that only lasted weeks before vibrations started. Ill be happy to get a few yrs out of the OE mount.
@@georgeramsey2827exactly a lot more time compared from one year normally from the aftermarket 😂
Please stop saying sketch. Unless you're 15 years old.
You're right, next time I'm going to say "tightening wheel nuts feels sus". 😊
Where did you get the cordless Ratchet? What brand is it. Thanks
At the time it was this Vonhaus brand from Amazon. Worked great for years. amzn.to/4awSOUz
I use the Kobalt 24v cordless ratchet now.
Thanks!
