Please do! By the way I loved your rear strut replacement video on the 7th gen. Don't think I'll try that repair as I live in the rust belt and don't have the tools or know how to get them off.
at this point I dont understand 31 people not liking this video,maybe they are all service shops who dont want you informing people about such a simple solution and would rather scam you and double the repair cost,or am I just wrong..please feel free to show the proper repair,visual information with verbal description makes it easier to grasp the finer details of this fix
That's my new favorite trick , thanks buddy. I have a tip I can offer in return, if you're wondering if the engine mount on that Honda needs to be replaced, it does.
I just replaced my side mount and the torque rod, I had a vibration at idle and used your other video for replacement guidance but it also took out my clunking noise when I hit a bump which I wondered what it was, I replaced the front struts last year and thought one was bad.It took me longer than your video-lol-but I was able to replace all of the parts and I'm now good to go.Thanks for your helpful videos, they are a big help.....
My noise was the tensioner being lose, be sure to check if its vibrating and making the noise before you go replacing the engine mounts like me. I was able to put a stick on the tensioner bold and felt the vibrations, can't believe I didn't think of that before.
I had the same problem about a few months back. The way I found out it was my mounts was because of my exhaust. Every time I started up my car the drone would be so loud inside the car. I thought this was normal because I had recently put a skunk2 exhaust on. After replacing the mounts and starting the car it sounded like I was in a hybrid all of a sudden.
A simpler check will be the gap between the rubber and the aluminum support, no gap or if there touching you need to replace it. The one installed has no gap, the new part you have does.

3:13 vs 4:03 not an uncommon issue, i use the "wear indicator" to determine if the mount is "sunk" and its actually the metal bar that you can see has rubbed on the mount and i will use that to determine its condition, otherwise you could always put a block of wood on a jack and jack up the oil pan and see if the problem "goes away", usually you get "excessive vehicle vibrations" and sometimes it happens more in reverse because of that mount failing, great video! just wanted to add another quick tip with the "wear indicator" i use, hope it helps someone else out there, thanks for the share!
Generally the symptom on those is a nasty vibration in gear and you dont have to torque them to see that they are bad. The mount collapses and the aluminum bracket on top touches the mount itself. Also, I have never seen one of the torque mounts go bad or had to replace one. Save your money. 22 year Honda tech. Good video for the DIY person though.
My 2007 1.8 L civic has a small vibration when I stop in traffic coming from the right side When I give it gas and take off the vibration stops.I will check motor mounts.Thanks for the tips,brother.
I have an 08 civic lx and the digital display goes in and out as far as the speedometer and engine temp and fuel level and sometimes the low fuel light blinks even though I had just filled up. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Great Video, my 08 Civic is getting a sharp clicking or metal snappy sound from the right front as though something is separating. Also, when steering to the right only, it lurches over much more that the steering movement allows, Has 130K on it, very tight otherwise, thinking strut mount or rack, thank you.
I have an 07 civic hybrid and yes the motor mounts can go badd that's a good to find the crack in the motor mount. I had to replace the left side motor mount it was little bit of work but it idles much smoother now…
Good video. Wish I could've seen repair vid before I replace engine mount last weekend. Bolt to fender would not fully seat. Hope I used correct bolt.... did not pic removals.. my bad. Did run much quieter though and that's a good thing. Just want to complete job correctly....
I know this video is 3 years old, but to anybody tempting this repair please use OEM Honda parts. Like you said for some reason the aftermarket ones don't line up especially the Anchor Brand I had multiple returns and couldn't get the holes to line up so I just filled my OEM One with window weld!
Hi thank you for the video. I have a 2003 Honda Accord. A couple of weeks ago my mechanic had to change out my water pump and my timing belt when I got the car back there was major vibration and sound that I felt all over the car. I went got brand new tires but I still felt and heard a thumping, it was in sync but now it is only in the pedals and in the floorboard. I went and got my alignment done and I got my brakes and rotors changed. I still hear and feel the pulsating thumping. At any speed. It slows down or speeds up with the cars speed. It still does it coasting in neutral. But not when parked in neutral while pressing the gas. I tried the thing you did with the car sitting still but in drive and pressing gas and brake simultaneously and the thumping sound and feeling are there. But the sound is not loud, but I know it isn’t supposed to sound or feel like this. Something is wrong. What do you think it is?? I’m scared to drive the car!
Dave just to be on the safe side I hope you moved the coffee mug in case the car jumps and hits the bench. Safety First! That mug will make one helluva thump. Just joking good video ❤️️ Film the repair. Dave do go pro cameras make the job easier. My CV joint will not pop out. I think I'll film it and it should pop right out. Long day will try again tomorrow 👍
I always keep the coffee out of harms way! Sometimes those C clips holding the axle in can be a bear, both taking them off and putting them back in. Thanks for the comments as always!
My sound is more or a slight crunch of cracking noise when I shift into first and sometimes 2nd or 3rd seems to happen when its getting torque any ideas what might be?it still runs good just worried may get worse and become a problem.
I would like to see you film on repairing this mount. Seen many videos of different procedures like certain bolts take out in order, engine drops back when removing mount due to not jacking engine correctly, etc. I want to see the reassemble because bolts don’t line up correctly. Some say taking out the bracket or jacking up engine will do. I’m all confused who to listen to.
Thanks for the video. Film the repair, always nice and appreciated. What I don't like on my 2015 Civic, is the clunk from the rear brake pads moving. Dealer says it's normal. Maybe I will change to non-Honda pads in the rear. The clunk has always been there from new and I only have 7800 miles.
Is the noise you are describing pretty loud? I have a loud clunking noise coming from the front of an 2009 honda civic and almost sounds suspensionl like. Wondering if that is what you are referencing here?
When your replacing this always best to replace the Lower vibration mount also its no good at this point also or else you will get vibration noticeable on dashboard when not driving
1:48 and 4:00 Pro tip. See how the metal tab on the side of the motor mount is resting on the rubber? Compare this to the gap on the new (revised) mount. Watch for the witness mark as the mount opens and closes. As a Honda tech, this was a dead giveaway that the mount had completely collapsed. (Yes it can also make noise/be bad when it is 75% or so collapsed as well)
Hi can I drive with a motor mount that makes a clunking noise intermittent. Honda dealership installed a aftermarket motor mount because oem is backorder. Was told by Honda technician that I can drive with the motor mount only issue would be the noise. Engine doesn't move when shifting to reverse or drive
@@jesuszuniga1257 can you drive with a bad mount? Yes. Should you drive with a bad mount, no. This puts more stress on other components, such as the other mounts, air intake tube, exhaust flex pipe, wire harness, ect.
The only reason I'm asking is because honda oem motor mount are backorder. When I went to pick up car for diagnosis they said I could drive but the only thing would be the noise . Check the motor mount and engine is not moving at all its just noise
Awesome tips Big Dog, always appreciate your videos. You should do the Transmission mount replacement next, it rarely ever goes bad. I would like to add another tip that will help identify if the Passenger side motor mount is bad. @1:48 time frame, you can see the vertical metal piece is touching the rubber lower mount. THAT vertical piece is mount indictor that its either too low or touching the rubber mount. If you can't fit 1 quarter in their, it is bad. If you CAN fit 2 quarters, its about to be done for. I just replaced mine and did a before and after visual inspection and found the new one can fit about 5 quarters, no more vibration at cold start, at idle, or going down hills or over bumps. Hope this small info helps someone.
Mine doesn't clunk or shake it misfires pcv valve? But no one want to survive it cause it's not convenient location like other Hondas civic 02 😢😮😅😊 this model years 07 thru 2011 were junk I think bad oversteer side a the road steering curves forget it
I have Honda Civic 2012 hybrid , I changed the mounts but still there is rattling in dashboard. But nothing on idle but when I’m at 10-20kph it makes the noise but after that it’s all good. I’m just curious what’s up!
Any ideas on a clunk in a 2010 Pilot when weight shifts (stopped then going forward and weight shifts to rear) in front driver side, feels like under pedals.... replaced cv joint, & shocks
Awesome test to see if the mount has gone bad ! I'll use that today. I have a strange sound though that sounds like it's from the front right side wheel area, when I drive it makes a gear whurrring sound. It is steady and increases with speed and descreases when i slow up, but it's very steady...does anybody have any ideas?
I would have to hear it to give more advice. Getting the car in the air and doing a visual inspection can reveal a lot in those situations. Thanks for the comment!
@@BigDog50001 I bought some jackstands yesterday and doing that tomorrow for sure. The more I have searched I think it might be where the CF CV or whatever goes into the transmission and it's pull out a little, but I can't find any sound samples. Check it out, a website for sounds that need repair. That would be cool...or not? :) thanks keep up the good work.
i have honda civic 2007 every time when i start the car in the morning and shift into D it creates little noise when car is in 1st and 2nd gear .whats the problem
Hi I have a 2012 civic lx sedan with a clunking noise and honda technician verified it was the passenger side mount that another Honda dealership install (aftermarket) because oem is backorder. The engine doesn't move when I shift to reverse or drive. Is it safe to drive with the clunking noise. Was told at the dealership that I can
More tools mean more work in your future. They are the pathway to frustration and aggravation, but ultimately we keep buying them because like a woman, we can't live without them. (ha ha)
No my friend it is not broken i have done same thing with my civic and the noise was still there and yes the you do that engine is gonna move regardless of engine mounts new or old
A broken engine mount is not the only thing that can cause front end noise on these Civics. On this vehicle, the mount was broken (and clunking) and I proved it on this video. It was replaced which stopped the movement (it will still move a slight amount but not like in this video) and I showed that on the replacement video. Thanks for stopping by.
I have the Ishift version it has different mounts it is the fk2 model. Also I have replaced the engine mount stil have a clunking sound on bumbs? Anyone have experienced the same problem?
So I have a14 RAV4. I changed the struts,shocks,sway bar links, sway bar link bushing s as well When I drive over a bump it makes a semi loud thud noise. What can the issue be. ??please help
Do you have anymore videos on a Honda Accord LX V6..? I have a SRS and TSC Error. P0401 (Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected) and P1457 (Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected - B)
I have a few V6 videos. SRS and TCS will need a good scan tool to start with codes. I filmed this Honda Idle Learn video right after I fixed a P0401, it is usually a plugged EGR line on those V6s (I showed a picture of it): th-cam.com/video/cM2Y5J9j4IM/w-d-xo.html. Here is a diagnosis of a P1457 on a V6: th-cam.com/video/ad8zvUA10og/w-d-xo.html.
@@BigDog50001 Oh my bad lol ..I really like your vids MAINLY because you give torque specs and that is very important for beginners for safety reasons of course. And is what seperates you from all the rest on Youube THANKS SO MUCH!!!
My 2010 civic LX has 120K miles. The motor mount isn’t broken (rubber cracked and separated) as you show in the repair video on this car. When doing the torque test, as shown in this video, my motor/torque strut moves up as this one does. Not sure if the motor mount is bad. What do you think? Is it expected to move vertically 1/8” - 1/4”?
I know this is an older video but maybe somebody will comment. I bought an 06 sonata and it looks like somebody has replaced with quick struts in the front and the sway bar links have been replaced. Also looks like at some point the ball joints and outer tie rods were replaced. I still get a knocking noise over bumps on the front driver side. Would a bad motor mount knock going over bumps?
I don't see a coffee problem either. His only problem may be working too much... 😁 Jokes aside, you can never have enough tools. Each tool is unique in a way.
My 03 civic has a clunking noise almost as if someone were hitting something metal with a hammer. Happens only driving on uneven road or small bumps and seems to be from right wheel well. Freshly installed ball joints and swaybar links, everything is tightened. Do you think this could be my issue?? I was also thinking to check the sway bar bushings. (Strut and tierod are both in fine working order)
Those generation Civics are set up a bit differently but I would check the condition of the engine/transmission mounts. Checking on the condition of the sway bar bushings is a good idea also (assuming everything you mentioned that were changed/checked are good).
i have a 06 civic and I have the same sound on the left side. sway bar links needed to be done and I replaced them, but the sound is still there. could be the mounts, I never once thought about that.
I had the thumping noise in my Civic, replaced the front engine mount and torque rod with an OEM one. Didn't work still had the thumping, so I replaced the transmission mount and lower torque rod (also OEM). Car thumps when I take off from a stop light or a slow roll. Where should I look next?
@@tonyjordan1320 hmm I’m thinking an axle issue possibly? I might go over and retorque all the mount bolts next time I change my oil. It’s not a huge issue but it pisses me off cause I’m OCD lol
@@JarivLetap I had a front bearing assembly go out on my 02 Dakota, it gradually got louder, I always thought a bad bearing would start clicking but this was a roaring noise. Good luck finding the problem.....I just watched a video on clunking noise on Civics, the guy found his front sway bar had a loose bolts and it was riding up and down making the noise???
Did it fix the issue? I have an 09 accord. Same clunk when i go over bump ect. I already checked all my suspension and both struts are 1 month old. Can u send me the repair vid of before and after please
Finding a noise in suspension can be tricky. Those generation Accords are known to have issues with lower ball joints making noise. Stabilizer links are another part that will make noise when they go bad on many models. If the issue started after the new strut install I would double check work (and verify is it not caused by cheap aftermarket strut assemblies). I only use Honda or KYB struts (and only KYB complete strut assemblies). For this car, a new engine mount fixed the issue th-cam.com/video/9VJBPO_GlhM/w-d-xo.html
The engine mounts have been replaced on my car too but the clunking noise still appears whenever I make a turn to the right. What else do I have to look out for?
Sway bar links (stabilizer links) are a big cause of noise, but CV axles, struts, body panels and suspension parts/bushings can all make noise too. Sometimes it can be difficult to pinpoint it.
Not usually, unless they are making noise or some other issue. So many techs were creating more problems than they were fixing that Honda now recommends not adjusting them unless they are making noise.
@@BigDog50001 thank you for taking the time to answer my question much appreciate it. i hear rattling when the engine is not warmed up yet in the winter only (canada s winter)
@@rixzin5046 still have the little shake when the car in on Drive and stopped so whenever i come to a stop with the ac on i just go neutral and the shaking stops. two years later and i still do that without an issue.
I have a 2008 fit with 67,000 miles on it. It makes a clunking noise when driving slow, and is really noisy at highway speeds. I've read that fits are just loud cars. Is that normal?
What do you think, should I film the repair?
Absolutely, YES!
Please do! By the way I loved your rear strut replacement video on the 7th gen. Don't think I'll try that repair as I live in the rust belt and don't have the tools or know how to get them off.

Check it out, a website for sounds that need repair. That would be cool...or not? :) thanks keep up the good work.
i have honda civic 2007
every time when i start the car in the morning and shift into D it creates little noise when car is in 1st and 2nd gear .whats the problem
Honda motor mounts are expensive!!! but its worth it...
Thanks for the input!
Hi I have a 2012 civic lx sedan with a clunking noise and honda technician verified it was the passenger side mount that another Honda dealership install (aftermarket) because oem is backorder. The engine doesn't move when I shift to reverse or drive. Is it safe to drive with the clunking noise. Was told at the dealership that I can
Yes film the repair!!
Thanks for the input!
More tools mean more work in your future. They are the pathway to frustration and aggravation, but ultimately we keep buying them because like a woman, we can't live without them. (ha ha)
lol! Thanks for the comment Wyatt!
Yes, film the repair. And demonstrate the test on a manual when you get a chance :).
A little more fun doing it on a manual transmission, thanks for the comment!
@@BigDog50001 I would like to see that. Never came across in the shop only autos with mount issues
Hope u change also the transmission mount on the driver side. And the mount under the transmission side.
No my friend it is not broken i have done same thing with my civic and the noise was still there and yes the you do that engine is gonna move regardless of engine mounts new or old
A broken engine mount is not the only thing that can cause front end noise on these Civics. On this vehicle, the mount was broken (and clunking) and I proved it on this video. It was replaced which stopped the movement (it will still move a slight amount but not like in this video) and I showed that on the replacement video. Thanks for stopping by.
would this cause thumbing over bumps just cruising?
It is possible but noises like that are more commonly associated with bad stabilizer (sway bar) links or bad struts.
How can check this on a manual. I think i might be into something with your video
Yes, please film the repair
Thanks for the input!
Would have liked to hear the "clunking/thumping" noise it was making.
Unfortunately is is tough trying to get the camera to pick up noises like that.
Well done mate!A very good video!Quite useful!
Thanks!
How about the problem where you press the gas in the rain and it takes minute to move the car and you hear a loud grinding sound, is it the same ?
In my case it was a loose bolt that holds the rubber mount at the back..
It did my head for about 6 months..
Thanks for the input!
The clunk sound after you shift from D3 to D at 2:20 . Is it a motor mount related problem?
Yeah id def like to see this repair .i know im late to the party but hey better late than nvr 🤷♂️
Dog, the tool man!😉
lol
I have the Ishift version it has different mounts it is the fk2 model. Also I have replaced the engine mount stil have a clunking sound on bumbs? Anyone have experienced the same problem?
So I have a14 RAV4. I changed the struts,shocks,sway bar links, sway bar link bushing s as well When I drive over a bump it makes a semi loud thud noise. What can the issue be. ??please help
Engine mounts, suspension components, body seams and other panels can all make noise. Sometimes it can be hard to pinpoint.
Good video my friend. God bless you
Thank you for the comment!
how to check on manual transmission?
Do you have anymore videos on a Honda Accord LX V6..? I have a SRS and TSC Error. P0401 (Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected) and P1457 (Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected - B)
I have a few V6 videos. SRS and TCS will need a good scan tool to start with codes. I filmed this Honda Idle Learn video right after I fixed a P0401, it is usually a plugged EGR line on those V6s (I showed a picture of it): th-cam.com/video/cM2Y5J9j4IM/w-d-xo.html. Here is a diagnosis of a P1457 on a V6: th-cam.com/video/ad8zvUA10og/w-d-xo.html.
Thanks for sharing, very informative.
No problem, thanks for the comment! 👍
Yes show the repair please
Here you go! th-cam.com/video/9VJBPO_GlhM/w-d-xo.html
Great VID!!! So under load you mean "you had A/C on and lights on when you torqued engine? I guess nothing running when you do this test?
No I don't think I had any of that stuff on, I just meant put a load on the engine by putting it in gear. Thanks for the comment!
@@BigDog50001 Oh my bad lol ..I really like your vids MAINLY because you give torque specs and that is very important for beginners for safety reasons of course. And is what seperates you from all the rest on Youube THANKS SO MUCH!!!
My 2010 civic LX has 120K miles. The motor mount isn’t broken (rubber cracked and separated) as you show in the repair video on this car. When doing the torque test, as shown in this video, my motor/torque strut moves up as this one does. Not sure if the motor mount is bad. What do you think? Is it expected to move vertically 1/8” - 1/4”?
It shouldn't really move much at all.
So how do you do this test with a manual? Without burning through my clutch? I’m assuming neutral won’t do it.
Many times a visual inspection of the mount can be done, looking for cracks and the mount to be smashed down enough for metal to metal contact.
is there a transmission mount in the engine bay too? the one on the driver's side?
I know this is an older video but maybe somebody will comment. I bought an 06 sonata and it looks like somebody has replaced with quick struts in the front and the sway bar links have been replaced. Also looks like at some point the ball joints and outer tie rods were replaced. I still get a knocking noise over bumps on the front driver side. Would a bad motor mount knock going over bumps?
I know this was 3 mo. ago but did it wind up being the transmission mount?
Mine clunks under the shifter. Is there a tyranny mount? Or just engine torque strut?
check the exhaust fluid reservoir.
this civic is bulletproof, i have one. never seen a mechanic.
They are good cars.
2014 accord v6 making a clicking sound no overheating just extra smoke out exhaust and extra oil in the head. Rod knock or piston ring?
It could be a few things but the valves may need to be adjusted.
I dont see a problem, your just buying tools to get the problem fixed... :)
True!!
I don't see a coffee problem either.
His only problem may be working too much... 😁
Jokes aside, you can never have enough tools. Each tool is unique in a way.
Yes film the repair
Thanks for the input!
When you put in park (no load), your engine still moved. Not as much but it did.
Film the repair and tools too that were on the workbench
lol thanks for the input!
Nice informative video.
Thanks for the comment!
Can this occur on the drivers side as well?
I just picked up an 8th gen coupe that vibrates at idle in neutral. But it's fine when driving. Could that also be mounts?
I would take a look at them if it was my car.
How much does it cost to fix this at the shop
No, you don't have a tool problem :D great video.
lol, good to know!
My 03 civic has a clunking noise almost as if someone were hitting something metal with a hammer. Happens only driving on uneven road or small bumps and seems to be from right wheel well. Freshly installed ball joints and swaybar links, everything is tightened. Do you think this could be my issue?? I was also thinking to check the sway bar bushings. (Strut and tierod are both in fine working order)
Those generation Civics are set up a bit differently but I would check the condition of the engine/transmission mounts. Checking on the condition of the sway bar bushings is a good idea also (assuming everything you mentioned that were changed/checked are good).
i have a 06 civic and I have the same sound on the left side. sway bar links needed to be done and I replaced them, but the sound is still there. could be the mounts, I never once thought about that.
I had the thumping noise in my Civic, replaced the front engine mount and torque rod with an OEM one. Didn't work still had the thumping, so I replaced the transmission mount and lower torque rod (also OEM). Car thumps when I take off from a stop light or a slow roll. Where should I look next?
I had the same problem and the front eng. mount replacement fixed it. Have you looked at your struts real good for any problems? Good luck....
@@tonyjordan1320 hmm I’m thinking an axle issue possibly? I might go over and retorque all the mount bolts next time I change my oil. It’s not a huge issue but it pisses me off cause I’m OCD lol
@@JarivLetap I had a front bearing assembly go out on my 02 Dakota, it gradually got louder, I always thought a bad bearing would start clicking but this was a roaring noise. Good luck finding the problem.....I just watched a video on clunking noise on Civics, the guy found his front sway bar had a loose bolts and it was riding up and down making the noise???
Axles and struts can make noise, and Stabilizer (Sway) bar links are notorious for making noise too.
Yes, please make a video of the repair.
Thanks for the input!
Great work
Thanks 👍!
Did it fix the issue? I have an 09 accord. Same clunk when i go over bump ect. I already checked all my suspension and both struts are 1 month old. Can u send me the repair vid of before and after please
Finding a noise in suspension can be tricky. Those generation Accords are known to have issues with lower ball joints making noise. Stabilizer links are another part that will make noise when they go bad on many models. If the issue started after the new strut install I would double check work (and verify is it not caused by cheap aftermarket strut assemblies). I only use Honda or KYB struts (and only KYB complete strut assemblies). For this car, a new engine mount fixed the issue th-cam.com/video/9VJBPO_GlhM/w-d-xo.html
The engine mounts have been replaced on my car too but the clunking noise still appears whenever I make a turn to the right. What else do I have to look out for?
Sway bar links (stabilizer links) are a big cause of noise, but CV axles, struts, body panels and suspension parts/bushings can all make noise too. Sometimes it can be difficult to pinpoint it.
@@BigDog50001 thank you very much for the feedback!
yes,you have a tool problem! i have it too!
lol!
great video!is valve adjustment necessary on a 2007 honda accord with 100k miles?
Not usually, unless they are making noise or some other issue. So many techs were creating more problems than they were fixing that Honda now recommends not adjusting them unless they are making noise.
@@BigDog50001 thank you for taking the time to answer my question much appreciate it.
i hear rattling when the engine is not warmed up yet in the winter only (canada s winter)
right now the weather is warmer i hear no noise whatsoverver only thing is the shakes intermittentely
when i put the ac on
@@Freedomind901did you ever figure out the ac shake
@@rixzin5046 still have the little shake when the car in on Drive and stopped so whenever i come to a stop with the ac on i just go neutral and the shaking stops. two years later and i still do that without an issue.
I have a 2008 fit with 67,000 miles on it. It makes a clunking noise when driving slow, and is really noisy at highway speeds. I've read that fits are just loud cars. Is that normal?
What you describe does not sound normal, probably need to get that checked out.
@@BigDog50001 yeah I'm thinking so, but I don't have time to do that soon. It drives just fine though.
@@BigDog50001 if I post a video on my channel with the sound on it, could you tell me what it could be?
Please do you have a similar video for a 7th generation Accord?
Or an 8th gen Accord?
No, not at this time.
It is same problem happen to me. I already change with new mounting and no more clunking
👍
