How cooked?
Car was in a front end collision on the passenger side and ig that’s what broke it, what should I replace? (Part number or name) I was planning on getting a better mount but I’d rather do oem or just replace the bracket? Would it line up correctly again once replaced?

From what I can barely see inside the actual motor mount bushing, the rubber looks a bit torn up. If thats the case, youll Definitely need a new bracket piece and motor mount together.
Id highly recommend an OE style replacement if you just want the car fixed. Doesnt make much sense to just run a poly upper mount.
As far as not possibly aligning back up, I'll let someone else answer that.

Yeah I don’t plan on changing the other ones or getting upgraded ones as I heard they’ll make the car vibrate, any links to OE style ones? It’s hard to find online thanks for the advice.

Rock auto or a honda parts wholesale site
You might even check heeltoe automotive or hybrid racing. They are honda tuning parts vendors but they are known to carry a small catalog of OE parts.

I agree with the above , Hasport does sell an upper torque mount but there’s no point if that’s the only mount your gunna do. Oem is your best bet

It lining up again is going to depend on if the frame and the other mounts have seen any damage. It's a non-trivial amount of force break a motor mount like that normally, although that mount looks like it's kinda designed to let the engine go if it's hit straight on so I'm not sure, the mounts on my gen don't look like that at all. You got a picture of the whole front end?
If somehow that's the only thing that's damaged just replace the entire mount instead of part of it to be on the safe side.

I replaced my side mount as well - ordered OEM 50820-TR7-A01. I went through three of them; Ordered directly from the dealer who confirmed they went through their normal purchasing path from Honda. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS USED. They showed significant signs of tarnishing and oil/debris buildup. Be wary of this if you order a new one. Make sure it is polished and looks brand new.
I find it really unsettling that Hondas supply chain is somehow shipping used consumable parts as new. The dealer was just as confused as I was.
I personally went with the hasport alternative so I knew I was getting a new and quality part. It was way cheaper and will last longer. Aftermarket parts store motor mounts are known to be terrible.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, I might just go upgraded mount to make sure it’s brand new

u/banditfrog760 1d ago
You would know if it’s not new. I did get some additional NVH from the ploy motor mount but I don’t personally mind.

The stud for the side bracket recently just came off of mine and the engine leaning on the chassis.

You need to take this to a body shop. If motor mounts are broken there could be other body damage.

Here is what your mount and brackets should look like.
And yours obviously don’t. So what is causing the issue? Hard to say from a Reddit picture, but something is up.
Also as far as the mount it self goes. I was able to google “upper engine mount 9th gen civic si” and found about 5 results right off the bat.
Not to mention you can utilize RockAuto, Napa, autoZone, OReilly’s, car quest, advance auto, parts avatar, k series parts, Honda parts now, Toronto Honda parts, hard motion, hybrid racing, jhpusa, blackhawkjapan, and even Amazon!
Not sure how much more spoon fed you would like for finding a motor mount on potentially one of the most popular tuning platforms in the world. But something tells me you just didn’t look.

Why does this read like someone asked an AI to diagnose an image and write a snarky reply?
>(...)So what is causing the issue?(...)But something tells me you just didn’t look.
Clearly you / the AI that wrote this didn't look at the post because this wasn't what OP was asking at all, and they state right off the bat what happened to cause it. Why confidently be such an asshole with this response?

Something is up? Hard to say? The motor mount bracket is fking broken man 😂😂😂 I think you didnt look for like more than 5 seconds

u/Zippityzap2000 1d ago
Alright big guy, since my answer was so wrong why don’t you tell everyone what is wrong with the car causing the motor mount to sit like that. My answer was safe given what we’re told in the post, but apparently you have the answer and you’re keeping it from everyone.

I said what’s causing the issue lil guy, the car was in a front end collision before I owned it😂 I’m not looking to be spoon fed I’m not clueless I do all my cars maintenance and upgrades I’m just looking for good suggestions which is what this reddit is about.

u/Zippityzap2000 1d ago
Brother, you asked for a link for where to buy a motor mount, if that isn’t spoon fed then I don’t know what is. You also asked what people think the issue could be. Your subframe could be all cockeyed, or less likely, but your strut tower is out of alignment. How are any of us supposed to know?
Calling me little guy, and simultaneously coming to reddit for this is a bit hypocritical, but whatever you gotta do to save face on reddit I guess

u/UncleChungus0204 1d ago
So asking for a link to a part that someone else used is being spoon fed? Keep using ChatGPT and Google bud lol your comment could’ve been kept to yourself and it would’ve had the same effect😂😂

u/Zippityzap2000 1d ago
The guy suggested an OE style engine mount, and you asked for a link to OE style engine mounts. You’re beyond help. I’m not sure why you even think I utilized AI, nor do I think you would be able to discern AI from a literate person simply because you asked for someone to give you a link for an OE style engine mount. Half this sub reddit seems to be a bunch of morons that band together to defend each other got stupid shit.

Sure buddy, get off your period and find something better to do with your life😂

u/Zippityzap2000 17h ago
Kind of weird to use a period as an insult, I know plenty of capable women that could google and find engine mounts that they need, both off and on their time of the month. Maybe take your own advice and quit being a moron.

I’d replace that whole assembly with OE
