Welcome to the forum. Thanks for posting the video. I think new mounts will be in my future, probably in the spring.

I'm at 60K miles on my 2015 and have been thinking of doing this too. I get vibration at idle but can make it go away if I shift into neutral. I know others have replaced and there's some limited install info on the forum but am interested from those that have made the swap, where did you support (specifically) under the engine.

and enjoy the forum!

Had it done to ours before our last trip.

I used my large floor jack and applied pressure directly under my oil pan. My jack has a rather large head on it, otherwise I would have used a wood slab. I applied just enough pressure to hold the weight, but once the old mount was off I had to actually jack the engine up gradually about 1-1/2" as I placed the bolts back in the new mount. Removing the airbox and swapping the mount took all of 20-30 minutes and I found the part online for $170 shipped.

Interesting.

This video points to bad design, not necessarily failure. When I would read about this happening, I always pictured a conventional old motor mount, with the rubber becoming un-bonded; an actual failure. This just looks like a weak initial design?

It was a very easy fix. I wish I would have done it sooner. My rattling teeth thanked me. Just have to make sure your engine is supported good on a jack and it's pretty straight forward remove airbox and 6 bolts. Adjust jack as you align bolts when reinstalling and tighten each one a little at a time. There is a new hole to pop the rubber mount for the airbox off and it fits in the new mount.

Absolutely, the design is crap, it doesn't look destroyed, but without having a brand new one of the old design to compare it with I couldn't definitively answer that. However, I can't imagine it having been this sloppy from the beginning, I'd assume something internal has become weak.

Remember when engine mounts used to last well over 200,000 miles and something we never had to think about?!!
