My car recently started to vibrate pretty badly at idle. So I started a search for a new upper motor mount.

I found a DEA brand mount that is an FIRST VERSION mount and it is a current product. The part number is A2827HD. The operative letters here are the "HD" at the end.

There is a second version "smiley" mount available from DEA under part number A2827 WITHOUT the "HD"

So, you want to buy the A2827HD version.

I just purchased one on eBay for just under $28. I'll install it as soon as it arrives and report back on the difference in vibrration.

Using a floor jack under the oil pan and an impact wrench, i can change this mount in under 3 minutes! If it takes me longer than that, I screwed up.
