the torque spec is 98 ft lbs for the center nut and the other 4 nuts are torqued to 35 ft lbs

I appreciate your video. Helps me to understand what the mechanic has to deal with when repairing my car and helps me to understand what he is talking about and helps me to understand the cost.

You can troubleshoot the mounts by using a jack and block of wood. Put jack under engine, in area more or less under the mount and just have block of wood touch where you will lift. Engage park brake, start car, and just take the weight slightly off suspected faulty engine mount. Don't lift the whole car! If some or all vibration goes away you have just troubleshot a faulty engine mount without guessing. This avoids costly and rookie mistake of just parts replacing.

Used this to change out both mounts. It was the passenger side one. dropped the dB inside the car by 10 in idle! Thank you!!!

Hi Axe, Thanks for taking the time to upload. I also had an extreme vibration issue on a 2007 Ford Focus I bought used a week ago with 184k miles. The vibration and noise was much worse than your case or any others examples I've seen videos on. I decided to go with just the single hydraulic motor mount that you were trying to repair. I ended up going with an OEM Ford part for $87 shipped on eBay. Glad I did. The vibration and noise is 100% gone and it's so smooth now. I didn't have to replace the two other motor mounts like I thought I might have to. Though, I am still considering getting cheap Chinese made replacement parts for those mounts to keep the main one lasting longer.

I also own a Ford Focus. But am I the only one that laughed when the sound didn't go away, these cars are hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ford Family In It To Win It

I have been looking for a video on this for a while now! Thanks!

I just bought a 08 Focus with 77k it has the same issue. Thanks for the upload!

when ever your doing a video and your using sockets it is a good idea to say what size it is it really helps the viewers out and saves time when gathering tools for a job I am a pro tech at a dealership i have been changing this mount for 16 years now and it is a good idea to torque the nuts

Cool how you showed the daylight at the end. Great video

Just so you know, there are THREE mounts; the last being a very important but smaller lower transmission mount.

Buen video, saludos desde México.

Very nice job

A pelón, eres un genio.

I have the same vehicle, and I have a lot of vibration when I start my car, but I took my car to a mechanic, and they said they put 3 motor mounts on the vehicle, but my motor is bouncing around like crazy, when I start it, and drive it as well. Do you have any advice?

You must use a FORD OEM Mount. Believe me a knockoff will not work. I’ve tried. I finally shelled out the dough and the car is so quiet. It’s amazing.

I have a 2008 with a bad vibration too , I'll have to check the mounts now thanks. Only thing that worries me is that it was a very early 2008 and they put leftover 2007 engines in them , hopefully the mounts are identical.

U ever checked the bottom motor mount? Tgats what was wrong with mine. The bottom was shot

For anyone wondering, the passenger side mount can be replaced with just a bushing insert for $25, most of the time your looking at the entire bracket assembly online for $80.

I had a escort with a bad vibration and found that the car had hit speed bump or parking stop and it bent the bottom engine frame up and it was touching the engine and this caused the vibration. I wonder if this is the same problem with the focos?

Thanks man peace

And in the video I was tryin to describe the car hadn’t block learned yet when I’m showing the processed data

Thanks for the upload but one important thing I've been looking for and can't find anywhere is the size of the center nut. Can you provide the size of each nut?

i just bought a 2008 ford focus se ...and it had the same probles .. both motor mounts were bad .. still vibreated .. #1 replaced plugs .. #2 replced coils .. the problem actualy was a (( starting to fail thotle position sensor )) .. replaced it .. 75% better .. put a new feul pump and filter .. now smooth as glass and runs fine .. coils and plugs were good .. weak feul presure and throtle position sensor . was my culperat

Thank you

14:17 laughing my off butt. sound is still present . Not as pronounced buts its still there. Thank you for proving the universe is not against me and this doesn't happen to me only 😂.

Good video..where do you place the jack under the car to lift the engine??

Don't forget the Torque Strut Mount!

What did you torque the transmission mount bolts too?

Yeah, my motor mounts are so worn out it starts rough

Didn’t finish watching the video but it seems like a lot of people just guess on this car and replace the motor mounts without making sure that’s it. But I have a 2000 ford escort zx2 which is the same car except it has the cam phaser on the intake but the engine harmonics are simply rough on this car and the exhaust likes to bottom out on the sub frame and the engine is naturally noisy and the oil controlled phaser causes a lot of valve overlap which is supposed to “increase idle quality” but more valve overlap decreases idle quality but at first when I was watching the video you seemed like you were guessing so I made a dumb comment but it seems like you were correct on this vehicle but I’ve built the engine twice, ported intake and exhaust, re wired entire engine bay harnesses and installed slash welded in new exhaust and when I first bought the car it vibrated at idle and even after I spent the time to make it a fun toy it had more vibration then a normal car and I didn’t replace any mounts I just wire wheeled the metal and painted them and none of them had failed so I was pre judging without watching whole video

Sounds like they are notorious for wearing, I myself own a 08 Ford Focus and it vibrates like crazy and I can actually move the damn engine

What model is this? (SES?)

3 mounts the two you changed and one on the bottom of the engine near the transmision. I have that same issue changed twice in 5 years this will be the 3rd LOL

Looks the same as a 2012 ford fusion

Parts cannon

this is funny, because you don't know anything about that engine, or how to read TSB's which describe exactly what needs to be replaced

These cars are pure JUNK!! They basically took over the Ford Escorts! I own a 2008 Focus and it is loud as hell and everything rattles...
