Review on 🔧 High-Quality Engine Motor Mount Set for 2003-2007 Honda Accord 2.4L - A4509, A4510, A4516, A4517, A4526HY, A4542 by Drew Gengler

I chose this set online because it was available for next day delivery and I was in a dilemma (trying to fix suspicious vibrations before an expensive trip remove). I didn't expect high quality for the price. However, I also didn't expect the details to be just plain wrong. Rear and passenger mounts were ok, upper gearbox mount was ok and lower gearbox mounts were a bit difficult to align (see photo, maybe due to poor pre-weld control of parts) but otherwise ok. But the front bracket was obviously mounted incorrectly and could not be mounted. When working at home, it is preferable to change one fastener at a time. The front bracket was replaced with the last one, so it was only after installing the other five brackets and removing the original sixth bracket that I noticed the defect. It looks like the top of the front bracket has been set back from the bottom. And the bottom screw pattern only fits one way; it is not symmetrical front to back. I tried to visually check the fasteners before starting work, comparing them with photos on the Internet, but I missed one subtlety. I tried to rotate the top 180 degrees but it wouldn't move and I didn't want to use a vise or power tools for fear of damaging it. Not where you want to be after (many) hours of work at 11pm! Luckily Autozone had the front motor mount in stock and it was still open, so I ended up buying a Duralast front motor mount, which alone cost at least double the price of Patewin's entire kit. In the attached file is a comparison photo of the front brackets, a slight misalignment of the Patewin transmission lower rear bracket, and a photo of an inferior bolt placement on one of the Patewin brackets. I returned the front motor mount with this statement but my return was not acknowledged. Obviously, at this point, we won't be dragging the other 5 pieces. Aside from these issues and some rubber burrs I had to trim off, the parts seemed good and inexpensive, and my Honda no longer has the harsh idle vibration it used to have (assuming it still vibrates under certain conditions, which suggests one May be due to number of factors besides the new mounts themselves). If the front mount was correct I would give 5 stars. I am hoping for a full refund otherwise I will definitely not be buying from this brand again.
