Welcome to another episode of The Eight Nine Garage. In this weeks episode, we tackle the motor and trans mounts on my 2011 Ford Escape. I used the Anchor Motor Mount Kit P/N 300073 which I purchased from Rock Auto. This will apply to 2005 through 2012 Ford Escape's, Mercury Mariner's, and Mazda Tribute's with the 2.3 or 2.5 liter engines. The 3.0 liter V6 is very similar, and also uses this same Anchor kit. I have used these same mounts a few times now, and have always been very impressed. I hope this helps you, and feel free to ask any questions in the comment section below.
