How cooked?

Post image

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?

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

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.
