anyone changed a motor mount? - Page 3 - Honda Pilot

HossnFlo · 04-24-2009, 08:30 AM

For any one doing this, do yourself a favor and go to the Honda place and get a handful of the clips used for the splash shield, (both the small ones and large ones) before starting this project. You will break some on a 2003 vehicle and it will save you time in the middle of installing the mounts.

The honda parts guy just handed them to me and said " No charge".

Have any members tried aftermarket mounts?

Bump - any reason NOT to install an aftermarket motor mount? I have a bad front motor mount on my 2004 Pilot. I can get a Beck/Arnley for $60 or a DEA for $47.

No reason at all

humanoid · 02-18-2013, 03:55 PM

I would get the ones made by Anchor rather than ones made by Beck/Arnley.

Thanks- is this speaking from experience that Beck/Arnley ones are not built up to par/don't last as long or ?

Experience. The Anchor ones seem to be made better. I forget where the Anchor ones are made, but the B/A ones are made in China.

Great thank you!

Do I need a breaker bar to unbolt the existing bolts or is there no space for a breaker bar in there?

Sorry, can't answer that question, I had my mechanic take care of it.

Interesting, the Anchor 9441 I purchased from Amazon.com arrived today and I saw a sticker on top" Made in China".
Maybe not all models are made there?

I also noticed on the bottom of the mount an inlet/outlet for a vacuum hose? Is that the case in a 2004 Pilot front engine mount?

Started today and bought an 18" extension bar and a u-joint which are a must for this project. I did not take out the splash shield as earlier posts in this thread suggested- I tackled all bolts from the top which is easier in my opinion.. Excuse the mess that is WD-40 I sprayed the night before on all 5 bolts... they took a bit of muscle to loosen up with a breaker bar. I unbolted all 5 bolts but need to finish tomorrow due to an apt. Does anybody know what this piece is sitting right next to the front mount? It is held to the frame with 2 screws but nothing else is attached to it!? I took it out so that I have more space to slide out the front mount tomorrow...

Picture of old vs new Anchor 9441 mount. Old one did not have any vacuum connections on the bottom so just put the Anchor in and bolted it in. As you can see the old one was bad.

Per Anchor customer support the Pilot has no vacuum line. The Odyssey does so this part is multi purpose.

" I received your inquiry this
afternoon and yes the Anchor
9441 is the right mount for
your Pilot. The mount also fits
the Odyssey which requires
the vacuum line. Your vehicle
does not require the line.

The Odyssey has experienced
vibration problems at low idle
and the mount is a dual
chamber mount that would go
to soft ride mode if there was
vibration at idle. Once the
vehicle accelerates, the mount
returns to firm ride mode.
Your vehicle does not
experience this problem and is
in firm ride mode all of the
time. It is better for our
customers if we can
consolidate original parts
wherever possible and we
have done this in your case."
