Motor mount and suspension ?'s - Honda Prelude Forum

I need a new front motor mount. I went to take out the ES inserts, I noticed it was cracked, so I put them back in so nothing would get messed up too bad. Where is a good place to buy new motor mounts? What are the chances that my rear motor mount is bad too?

good/bad? eBay Motors: HONDA PRELUDE 92-93-94-95-96 FRONT ENGINE MOTOR MOUNT (item 220229748157 end time May-06-08 08:51:30 PDT)

Also, my suspension has been loose...I have KYB GR-2 shocks on there, but its still kinda loose and doesn't feel "Stockish." My gf's Fit suspension feels tighter than mine. I have checked and all bolts and stuff ar torqued to spec. I have concluded that I need new suspension bushings. I have >200,000 mi on the car, so....yeah. Where is a good place to buy them? I have read that ES bushings are 'crap' but there are so many parts on the honda site....I don't know which ones to get.

It's a 93 Si.

Thanks again guys!

The mount was cracked or the insert?

front motor mount

Then any of the bushings that are rotted/ cracked on your suspension.

I went with all (well, you can't get all the bushings) new bushings from majestichonda when I rebuilt my suspension. They were a PITA to do. You may have to purchase new upper control arm mounts to replace the UCA bushings. That's how the 5gen rear is. I think the 4th gen front and rear suspensions are alike to the 5th gen rear.

what about the UCA bushings for the 4th gen? would it be worth it to give ES a try here since i dont want to buy new ones?
