Don't put in Mazda motor mounts. Upgrade to AWR. Some thread locker probably should've been used on the bolts.
Click here: Performance Engine Mounts, Performance Motor Mounts | AWR Racing :
click near bottom to see on-line store = All Parts - Engine Mounts - AWR Racing Store

Looks like only passenger side available. They must be getting out of it due to low demand.

Yup, I should learn to do it myself. I'm a girl and I don't like being cheated on when it comes to having my car be repaired because I really don't know if the mechanic is actually putting in a NEW or GENERIC PART. Mechanics down here (Hawaii) tend do lie and rack on huge amount of money to do repairs when actually it doesn't cost that much. It's good to know someone, like a relative, that works for a dealership that you purchased your car from. Discounts does help, but it doesn't when they charge for labor lol. It's also good to know a friend or relative that can fix cars. Especially if they're certified technicians. They would know what they're doing and DO NOT DO A RUSH JOB OR USE GENERIC PARTS. I sure ain't going back to the man who didn't do a good job repairing my car. I also had him change my (2) back brakes and also the rear sway bar links. My trunk still makes noise til this day, while going over a bumpy road. Before having him change it, he told me it was the sway bar links that needed to be replaced that's the reason why there's a lot of noise coming from the trunk.

I'd like to thank you all who had posted comments.
