Hey all, I have not been here in a while . But I have tried the search.

My G/F is going to be putting the '89 323 back on the road. Her father says that it needs a motor mount and a Tie Rod. He is not sure if it is inner or outer. But that is a topic for a different thread,

Right now. I am puzzled about motor mounts for this thing. Every where I go I get different results for what I need. Every Time I tell it Its a 1989 Mazda 323 1.6L Non-Turbo.
Prices vary by almost double.

I need some help in finding the motor mounts that I need. Now her father claims that only one mount is busted. But a 20 Y/O vehicle with 280,099 miles on it. And a Transplanted Tranny, I am thinking about replacing all of them. I was told my Advance Auto that there are 4. Tell me if this is right. 1 in front by radiator. 1 by the belts, passenger side. 1 firewall side. 1 to support the trans(always double in price when compared to the rest).

Now I have done enough with my Ford Explorer that I can grasp changing motor mounts. But I can't get a hold of a Shop Manual. Has any one changed the motor mounts on the '89 and down. ? I don't have an engine hoist. Some people tell me that I can support the drive train with a floor jack and a block of wood. Is that true?

Any out there done this ?

 

Seriously. No one has replaced the Engine/motor/trans mounts in this vehicle?

I am hoping for some kind of a guide or a write-up.
