Glad you were able to fix the issue! This vibration issue drove me crazy.

@@databits Ive had my vibrating steering wheel for the past 3 years and never thought it was urgent but glad I fixed it! It was a worn out engine mount that never got changed so that changed my car and I only have 65690 km on it! so that is only 40817.874 miles if I convert it for you!

Great news, Katherine. Glad that worked for you!

Good luck with the repair on the 2007 Focus, my 2008 still annoyed me after the motor mount replacement, so I sold it. It also "chopped" up back tires within no time and the air conditioner worked when it felt like it.

Rear tire chop is very likely a bad bushing or wheel bearing.

Buy another car

Welcome. This issue drove me nuts.

+Rennie Kontak - Good luck!

+databits I very much appreciate the video. My 2008 Ford Focus SE has 50,000km / 31,000 Miles on it.... i am experiencing a lot of vibration in the passenger seat area/from the passenger seat at a stop light. And sometimes when you accelerate and then let off the gas. Did you ever find you had the same problem? I am guessing i will prob have to replace the same mounts as you did. 3103 Front Engine Mount 3087 Torque Mount

Absolutely!

2 engine mounts and 1 engine mount, engine mounts are located on passengwr side and under the engine, and the transmission mount is under the battery

jason hernandez Jason, my car did not have bluetooth. Sorry about that.

This post is a few years old... but it should be a button on your steering wheel...it looks like a phone or something. If you press it, it will say “line in, please say a command.” Then you need to speak “Bluetooth audio,” and it could connect your Bluetooth phone.

Great job!

Matt L. - You're welcome. That vibration issue drove me nuts. I got therapy though and I'm better now. :)

I dont have problems besides the vibration either.

Same

+DemonHunter022 - Sell it. :D

The cliff idea or donate it to charity. 😂

@@databits lol! I'm gonna give it one more try and look at it this weekend. I originally wanted to keep it for my son because I bought a 2018 Honda Civic Si, but I really don't want to pass a rattling car down to him or anyone for that matter. The cliff idea is probably most practical lol

This was 8 years ago now it cost about $120-$180 to replace a engine mount

Shelby Rodriguez That vibration was so annoying to me that I sold the car. :D

+lightningsmokerXx So apparently these cars have a big issue with this. At only 49,000kilometers I replaced The Main Gel/hydraulic mount on the same side as your coolant bottle and the dog bone mount underneath and that took away pretty much most of the vibration. There is a 3rd mount which is a transmission mount somewhere under the air box side.

+lightningsmokerXx - this absolutely drove me crazy, and the motor mount did not completely resolve the issue. My next fix was replacing the entire car.

+databits Ya for me at 49,000km /12,000miles i've had to replace on a 2008 Ford Focus SE - sway bar links, rusted out brakes, 2 motor mounts, lower control arm bushings are shot pretty much right about now. Suspension wise this thing was built like crap. I definitely wouldn't own another Focus. It was bought by my 60 year old mother new and never driven like a hot rod, and always serviced at the dealer. I think unfortunately after this 08 and 2012 dodge with issues also bought new we are going Japanese next time.

old comment but no timing marks on most modern Fords as far as I know. Camshafts are aligned at TDC using a special tool.

It was absolutely ridiculous. Drove me crazy having my gas pedal vibrating all the time.

@@databits I replaced the passenger side engine mount and the vibration stopped. 248k miles on the car.

I6? V6 has a balancing shaft

Really, was it hard,did u use a manuel

It tells me I won't buy a Ford again!

247, 000 miles and only NOW you're getting some signs that you just need to change a inexpensive $10 or so valve cover gasket and engine mount?!? AMAZING!! Lol, I think you might get some haters for your good fortune. Jokes aside, I'm glad the vehicle has been able to give you that incredible amount of low maintenance dependable service. I bet she can easily go another hundred thousand+ after performing high mileage maintenance.

It just shocks me that so many thing are going wrong with her car and it's only got 114,000 miles on it. Also he key ignition switch is either sticking or wearing out on top of some how the window seal in her car is bent for no reason and makes the window squeak. To top it off she also needs a new temp sensor because her gauge for that it all messed up to.

+Bmp-man interesting. I wonder if she's stayed up on all her regular schedule maintenance. I suppose there maybe some overheating going on but wasn't being detected by sensor or sensor malfunctioned some time ago and she continued driving under those conditions. I've known people who outside of just changing their motor oil, completely forget that they have other fluids that need to be regularly changed as well, like anti-freeze/coolant, brakes, tranny fluid, etc. I'm currently fixing up a friends 2000 toyota corolla and just like in your case, it has made it to 230-ish,000 miles. The difference being, it's been relatively poorly maintained and only now have I gotten her up to snuff so my buddy can have safer drive. I was amazed at the level of performance it's delivered just by recent relatively inexpensive tune up I made which happen to include changing out the old valve cover gasket. I found this video because I've noticed a very subtle, almost negligible, vibration emanating from passenger side glove compartment box area and my KZfaq search got me here. I've suspected it but I'm now quite certain, its probably the engine mount rubber finally showing some signs of age. For 230,000+, it has provided remarkable service. At this point, it's not terrible and so I'm thinking about leaving it alone but at least I know what the sound and culprit is. Anyway, outside of those things and a few neglected suspension work I've done on her that shouldve been addressed 100, 000 miles ago, she too,has been surprisingly dependent and economical, and can probably go additional 50,000 or who knows, another 100,000 though she might be pushing it since I suspect the water pump hasn't been changed.

Well she's taken care of it for the most part. But it really says something about who works on her car (firestone) because I think you're right as far as the overheating problem goes. But soon it will either be fixed or she'll get a truck.

Maranda Skudlarczyk Later I got my motor mount as a prize in a Happy Meal!!

so you think that auto mechanics should just work for free. They almost certainly changed two of the motor mounts. The parts were most likely around $100 to $150.

David Phillips and less then a hour job for all 3 mounts wow that's one pricey per hour job must be like 100 a hour mechanic

Floreypottery There are like diagnostics fees involved when you take your car in not knowing what you want done on it. Parts and labor would be about right.

I changed the motor mounts on my friends focus. It took longer to find the socket set then it did to change the mounts.

I hated that car lol

Same

real hydraulic front mount from ford is 95 dollars I wouldn't use those dorman fake hydraulic ones

tex f That can happen.

Probably do need motor mounts too lol

idontplayamusic That's a good tip on the power steering fluid. The vibration never completely stopped, the A/C had a leak nobody could find and the car chopped up my tires, so I sold it.

2005 23L. Ford

Brought should be bought. Brought is derived from bring, bought is derived from buy.

@@DavidB-rx3km I wasn't trying to give him a grammar lesson! When do people care about how words are spelled on the internet you obviously knew what I meant but had to take precious time out of your very important day to correct someone on the internet you must be butt hurt about something if not! You have a long road ahead correcting all the incorrect selling online! Good luck with that!

Well dad, where were you when I needed a mechanic! :D

Actually the part costs around $135 from Ford. I happened to just find it for $100 online from a discount dealership. Nowhere near $45. Also before you say get an aftermarket one it's been proven that the aftermarket passenger mounts only last a few months. They're garbage.

Jeff Coleman I have an 09 focus and it's giving me the same exact code...meaning it could be anything, I've been trying to figure it out

Thanks for sharing the information, Jared.. I sold my Focus so I'm good.

My FORD is now gone. Traded it. Good luck!

UPDATE: Rough idle is non existent after R/R Transmission mount. Car runs great for now.....

Bob Sagget Crooks indeed!

no they dont

Don't Trip They are engineered that way. I finally sold mine.

databits I hate the engine mount issue with these cars but honestly other than that I'm in love with the 08 I drive, its fast as fuck for a stock 4 banger it runs good it drives in a semi straight line when it pleases due to the roads I drive and other than I gotta watch and make sure the alinement stays correct on it I just change the oil and keep driving.

on my 08 focus se 340000 km no issues ford made good cars

​@@westernstartruck2528 178,000 miles on mi 2008 focus. Litle vibration but not big deal. No mayor probles, still runs well (28MPG Combined) and do not burns oil at all. Not better than toyotas Corrolas, But a lot cheaper when you buy second hand.

boo bye American car is on the left side.
