07' CTS 3.6L Motor Mount

[TX_1821]

Hello Yall!!!

I have some noticeable vibration/movement coming directly from the engine and even more when accelerating at idle.
(Like engine is loose not from inside or anything but like if it's not fully tied down)
Imagine your dog being collared from a loose leash; engine bouncing abit like that.

I'm pretty sure its the motor mounts.
Have never replaced them... 2007 cts with 155K miles, so yeah I think its beyond overdue.

Going to go with some rubber ones as I can't see myself spending $150 plus on some revshifts or uuc's.
Narrowed it down to these 2. (About $60 for both shipped so just a bit unreasonable

Should I grease these with maybe like a wheel bearing grease prior to installing?

Any information, comments, thoughts, tips, or random info is always accepted!
Good'Day Mates!

My experience with aftermarket engine mounts is laced with PTSD and neighbor curtain parting profanity

... should've heard me when they broke 6 months down the road

Genuine GM or don't bother, this isn't something you want to do twice

I would not grease them, other than anti-seize on the threads.

+1 OE only don't waste your time and money on aftermarket garbage (they are really).

Rock Auto sells the OEM motor mounts

The new GM ones are probably made in china and weigh 1/3 less than the one the car came with but they are still 1000+ (literally) times better than aftermarket.
I have seen Anchor and DEA last less than 100 miles and a week.
For older GM cars the chances of finding a NOS Made in USA is almost non existent but for an 07 you may have luck at a local dealer, the ones from Rock are OE but almost certainly new production stock.

Do you think this one would be ok to buy? Looks like a return or something. OEM for $55, even if they're Chinese now, would this still be better than Anchor/DEA?

 

[Trav]

No its used. I don't like doing the job twice, the sticker on it are theirs not factory. Try bidding on this one 10 seconds before it ends.

Well [censored] guys guess I' have to fork out the cash for the oem's

Thanks for the heads up though, as it would be quite inconvenient for them to [censored] out on me.

Trav,
Love you, saved me bout $50 from Rockauto Lol.

Will post a new thread when I get them in and compare them to the old & worn out ones.

Thanks Yall!!!!

I put the ACDelco motor mounts in my Buick. No problems with them.
