I need to have a motor mount replaced on my car (non ultra). I found somebody that's going to replace my broken front motor mount but I am having a problem ordering the part because I don't know the correct name for it. It is the front motor mount that sits right behind my radiator almost in the center, can anybody please tell me what the name of it is? Everywhere I go online to order a part says either passengers side front or driver's side front, and I am a girl and don't know a whole lot about cars. My father passed away so I have no one else to ask. I feel stupid for even asking but I didn't know what else to do.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Can you upload a picture of the one you are referring to? There really is only a left and right mount. However, some have a mount that is often referred to as a dog bone because of its shape.

I attached a picture of the right mount for you to see. Let me know if that is what you are looking for or if possible, upload a picture for me to see.

Take care,
Joe

Thanks for visiting 2CarPros.

It's called the front mount and is #5 in the link below:

I can't take a picture of it right now because it is dark, but I will in the morning. actually I can do better, there is a YouTube video that shows exactly where mine is, it's the same kind of car, I'll include the link.

Isn't that a transmission mount? What is being replaced a transmission mount or motor mount? I'm getting confused.

By the way KENW1 was right, that was the mount I needed. I went to my local auto parts store and they had it listed as a transmission mount? But either way thank you everybody.

I had a feeling that is what you were referring to. Regardless, I'm glad it's fixed. Let us know if you have questions in the future.

Take care,
