Ordering Mazda comp. motor mounts from Atkins for my SE. Guy on the phone says order two,will fit left and right side fine. Been a while since i've been under the car, but pretty sure left and right are different with left mount being taller. Surely someone else has been down this road,what kind of mods needed to make this work?

 

Mazdatrix lists the comp mounts as left or right as well. When I was looking at mine, they looked to be the same height as well.

 

the comp mounts are the same left and right.

 

Craaaazy do you have a an SE you're referring to ?

 

Do you have the stock mounts in your car,or the Mazda comp. mounts?

 

Thank you,i know the comp.mounts are identical L&R. I don't have access to my car right now,don't want to belabor this point. I have not had the comp.mount,or the oe mount in my hand for comparison, but have seen pics of both in detail. The oe left mount for 13B GSL-SE and 12A with automatic trans are the same,and in pictures i've seen are a larger mount(looks taller). The right side oe mount and comp.mounts are clearly the same dimensionally and shorter. My question regards the difference in height,what using both of the comp. mounts in my car will do to the orientation of the engine and trans. in the chassis since the original leftside mount appears to be taller. Would like to hear from someone who has these replacement comp. mounts in their SE, or has installed them in an SE and was it more than a bolt in deal? Not trying to overthink this,but logic tells me i will have a misalignment issue trying to install these mounts and likely won't have the answer til i have the original off and compare it to the replacement. This is not really a big deal other than my workspace in the garage is not dedicated solely to the RX and i can't have it apart and tying up the garage. I am going through the suspension completely front and rear,believe i have everything i need before i start, except for the question of the mounts. Sorry for the long read, thanks for the replys so far and looking forward to any further input.-Mike.

 

yes, i have an SE and they fit fine with the stock motor. even w/ the REW now w/ the 12a front cover, no issues putting the motor in place

 

Thanks for the quick response! Really like this website,seems to be plenty of knowledgable people on here.
