    Side motor mount, is it filled with fluid?

    Ok a friend of mine has a 95 EX CD5, F22B1, auto. I haven't had a chance to look at it and before I waste my time checking it out, here is the problem/question.

    He says he thinks he side motor mount (on the driver's side) is leaking and causing him some vibrations. All I want to know, is the side motor mount filled with hydraulic fluid? Because if it's not, then there is something else causing the vibration problem.

    Again, I don't want to waste my time running back and forth to check and fix problems that aren't really there... call me lazy, but I'd rather spend the day doing other stuff then working on someone else's Accord.

    there is no fluid in that mount its most likely something else leaking on the mount like power steering fluid.

      That's what I was wondering because I thought it was a solid mount and just the rear mount was hydraulically controlled.

      Guess I'll take the time and go over and see what the problem is... probably something simple and stupid.

        As far as i know all mounts are not liquid filled or electronically controlled. The CB7 (4th gen) previous generation had rear mounts that were electronic and liquid filled (i think the highest version only in the US - EX or LX - however here in AUDM it was for all 4th gens).

        I suggest looking at the FITV or IACV. Look up the forum for check and adjustments of.

          HOLY DEAD THREAD BATMAN!

          Issue has been taken care of for almost a month now.
          And no, it had nothing to do with the FITV or IACV. The car was/is running fine, it just had a vibration.
          I went over and checked out his problem (after psychogat3 posted) and I found out that the rubber in the front motor mount was completely detached from it's housing AND the down pipe was rattling (it has a hole in it).
          So I got him a front mount and replaced it for him and he's saving up money to fix his exhaust leak (he needs a whole new exhaust actually).

            Sometimes its good to write a closure or feedback as soon as the issue has been resolved to:

            1) provide a conclusion for the benefit of future users
            2) alert the end of the thread and
            3) prevent additional write ups.

            Good to know it has been resolved.
