Replacing the engine mounts regains massive driving quality. Did this to my 24 year old Audi a couple of months ago and the difference is absolutely crazy.
MrPorsche91730 Engine mounts won’t improve the ride quality. There’s a lot more than shocks that control your ride quality. Depends on your suspension set up but generally for cars and light duty trucks you have sway bar bushings and end links, ball joints, control arm bushings and of course shocks. Are you certain your shocks are ok? Aka when you go over a bump especially on the highway does the car seem to bounce more or longer than it should? Also if you just replaced them, low quality shocks give a low quality ride. Hope this helps you
I have also a 2001 b5 a4 TDi Audi. I feel the engine so "near me", and if i go to 3000 rpm I feel it like it's a sports car. You say that even if I don't have big vibrations inside, replacing those rubber parts will make the care more confortable? I drove a Vw Bora with same engine and i felt like the engine is "far away" from the cabin and was running smoother
Thank you for showing yourself supporting the back of the car with the jack, I feel like it is not covered enough in these types of videos. Center of balance is the most important safety issue when using these lifts.
I remember my first fan removal. Didn't know it was left hand thread. I had bars, pipe wrenches, etc. Watched youtube and felt like an idiot cause I didn't think of that.
I tried, I took like 6 classes at a community college and all I know how to do is change spark plugs, oil changes and maybe an alternator and starter if it's is 1995 Nissan Altima lol.

I'm not bragging, I'm saying I can't hardly do shit.
You can do this job with regular tools.. everyone can do it. It's one of the easiest things to do, you just need at least 2 car jacks and common tools.
i replaced every mount in my 1972 chevy c20 and each one was anywhere from 1.5 to 3.5 inches SHORTER than the replacements… crazy what time and wear does

Get a lift, it's a pain in the dick to hold up the trans and engine when you're on your back under the car. Or, put it on high blocks if you got em. Don't do the job unless you have plenty of clearance. I'm not a true DIY person since I am a mechanic but I don't have a lift at my house so I make do with what I got. Also invest in an electric hydraulic car lift, they aren't expensive. Maybe a couple hundred at most but worth it especially when jacking up your vehicles. Good luck! Be safe!
@@ChahtaAnumpa it's easy. Grab yourself a harbor freight support bar to put tension on the engine. Do one side at a time so the engine also pulls up on the opposite side. For the passenger side unbolt the bracket from the engine to get better access. Also there's no need to remove the reinforcement plate like he did. Doing so means replacing all those bolts (one time use bolts) and torqueing them to yeild (you need a traditional torque wrench and an angle wrench).
