Mechanic quoted my wife $1,500 to replace 3 mounts and cv axles... I know they got to make money but good lord! Got all mounts on the way and about to order cv axles for $350 total and I'll be back here when ready to start work, thank you for this!
Make sure you get a bunch of penetrating oil and rent a hub puller for the CVs. I also recommend replacing the struts while you are down there. Assuming they haven't been replaced already, if your mounts are shot, the struts are as well.
Will do on the CV axles, replaced a set on my old civic and a Sentra before so I imagine it will be about the same just beefier, thanks for the advice! I replaced all four struts year before last because they were leaking fluid and shot.
No problem. Anything that can be done yourself is better than dealing with a mechanic. Everything on my channel is DIY. Just various levels of frustration. If you needed to replace this one, I will pretty much guarantee your font motor mount is also shot and needs replacing. I made a vid on that one as well.
