Motor mounts 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Juan P. on  Mon Apr 20 09:02 CST 2009 [RELATED]

So I got my 850 running when I was at my parents' home last weekend. Despite being in storage for the last 8 months it started up without a problem after I put the battery back in. Gave it some highway time after filling the tank with fresh gas and checking everything under the hood.

I decided to have the oil changed at the shop while I was at it, and my mechanic told me that everything checked out okay except for the motor mounts. He said that I will need to have the top one replaced soon. The car only has 86k on it, almost 87k. I know that motor mounts are a weakness of the 850s, and I'd prefer to have all of them (top, center, bottom) replaced as preventative maintenance. How much would this job cost, and how long does it usually take labor-wise?

    The forward and tranny mounts are relativly easy. You mechanic will put the car on a lift, lift the engine 1/2 inch, and replace the mounts.
    It is the top mount that is a pain. The OEM rubber bushing needs to be pressed in, which is why many of us have opted for the poly bushing (very easy to DIY).

    Cost depends on your mechanics charge/hour. About 1.5 hours for all 3.
