Acura CL Motor Mounts

The Acura RSX has a history of luxury that is manifested not only in its appearance but also in performance. When you want to maintain a car of this quality with complete confidence, it is important to purchase the right parts such as Acura CL motor mounts. Your Acura should only have high-performance components or upgrades installed to ensure continuous quality performance.

How many engine mounts does an Acura RSX have?

There are a total of three engine supports. Each of them is unique, so it is important to make sure that you are purchasing the right mount for the respective place in the engine. There is one mount on the passenger side, in the front, and in the rear. It is also important to make sure that you are purchasing the correct replacement products for your car as well since changes in the Acura RSX from year to year would require different engine mounts.

How are Acura RSX engine mounts replaced?

Replacing the Engine Mounts on the Acura RSX requires the car to be completely jacked up high enough to comfortably get underneath. Each mount is held in place with four bolts: three that hold the mount in place and one that links the motor mount to the actual frame. Replacing them with the correct torque and placement is essential.

  • Have the correct parts and tools in place before beginning.
  • Lift the car with a car jack high enough to work comfortably and safely underneath.
  • Working with one part at a time, remove the bolts holding it in place and remove the mount.
  • Replace with the new mount, tightening each bolt with the correct torque being sure to follow the product specifications that are included with the part.
  • Check each replacement after they are all secure.
When should engine mounts be replaced?

Typically, motor mounts should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on the type of driving or any unusual activity, such as accidents or rough driving. Upon inspection, if any mount appears worn, cracked, or bent, they should be immediately replaced.

How does the Acura RSX engine mount function?

The engine mounts hold the engine in place within the engine chamber. They are designed to keep the motor from moving around and to absorb vibration for a smooth ride. Most engine mounts are composed of a composite rubber insert that buffers the motor from vibration while it is driving.
