front motor mount

[dghii]

I've replaced mounts on three different Boxsters over the last few years. Shifting improves, idle is smoother and no harmonic vibration at ~3K rpm are the main things that get fixed.

I did swap just a bushing in the mount one time and it wasn't very hard to do. The bushing as $39. Prior to removing the old bushing, I marked it and its position in the mount. I then sat the new bushing on top of the old, alingned the holes and marked it as well.

I put my motor mount in a vice and used a hack saw to break up the old mount and pull it out. It was quite easy to do by hand. I then took my new (Frozen) bushing, alinged the holes and pressed it in using the vice. It when right in without any drama.

Do you have the bushing part number by any chance?
