Hi, I need to replace the motor mounts on my daughter's Intrigue. I've called a few stores and they all say there is right rear mount but the front is not orderable. Napa Auto says there's a right rear and 2 torque struts (core support to block, and a front). They also recommended replacing the transmission mount. Does anyone have any experience with replacing 99 motor mounts, etc? and should I replace all?, or is there one that typically goes bad first? Do the torque struts also need to be replaced or typically go bad as well?
Thanks,
Rick

I'd say the front lower mount (just below alternator) goes bad the most on the 3.5L.. At least on my wife's car that's the only one that I've needed to replace and her car has 137K miles on it. As far as I know it is still only available from the dealership and 3 years ago it cost around $80, but I'm sure it's gone up since then.

Thanks for the note regarding the front mount near the alternator .... I wonder why this mount is only sold at the dealer? At any rate, I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's one of the others I can buy from an auto parts store.

Regards,

Rick

You can buy the front lower mount at www.gmpartsdirect.com for 75.00, the dealer by me wanted 135.00.
