Hey,
I have a 2006 Mazda 3, 2.3L and would like to know if there is a site that shows the locations of the mounts and how to install them. I tried to find one and having no luck. Thanks for your help!!

You don't really need pictures.
There are three mounts:
1) On the RS (passenger side here in the States.) This one is fluid filled and is known to develop cracks and leak fluid in time.
2) Near the top of the transmission under the battery box. Said the be the hardest one to get to but doesn't often go bad. And...
3) Underneath the car at the back of the engine/transmission. This is the easiest to change out, in spite of the fact that it is underneath the car. This one doesn't usually go bad either, but as it it the "torque mount" is often one people (like me) change to a harder one for better launches, less wheel hop.

What exactly is the problem?

 

I just replaced both front struts and it is still vibrating and I can tell it is a motor mount and thinking it is the top passenger side. I'm not very mechanical is the reason why I wanted a video or something to show me where they are and how to take it off. I was told by someone at a shop there was 5 motor mounts, but doesn't seem that is the case.

 

Why did you replace the front struts?

Are you absolutely sure the problem is the motor mounts or are you just throwing parts at the problem in the hope of getting it fixed sooner or later?

 

What "kind" of vibration is it, and at what speed(s?)
How many miles on the car?
Is it a 2.0L or the 2.3L engine?
Auto or std?

 

I have a 2.3L 2006 that has the same vibration when I step on the accelerator. Plus, there is engine noise as well. My vehicle is 95,000.
