Suspension parts recommendation

[lubben3]

Hey Everyone,
I need a front right motor mount, front sway bar mounting bushings, and outer tie rod. I have Andrew's boat mount for the trans mount. Should I replace both motor mounts even if only one is recommended? They were installed at the same time. For the mounts, RockAuto has Westar hydraulic and solid mounts, Anchor hydraulic, and DEA/MRC solid. Which to get? For the sway bar mounting bushings, I had an additional sway bar added last summer. Have Gabriel ultra ready complete struts on front (not as thick as the Monroe although expensive). Do I get the FE1 or FE2 front sway bar mounting bushings?

I've had a weird problem for some time with a mild overheat. In traffic and idling temp just slides over the 200 mark. But there is a burning smell and there is a hot spot on hood driver's side about halfway down the edge of the hood. I replaced the spark plugs, wires, and thermostat to no avail. Engine seems to run rough. Any ideas?

Up to 230,xxx miles now. A few years ago I read about a guy from Maine with 1,000,000 miles on his Accord. His situation was brought to Honda's attention and they bought him a new Accord. Does 230,xxx Bonneville miles count as 1,000,000 Accord miles? GM, I'm talking to you.

Just replace the one mount for the transmission with what you got from Andrew. The side mounts don't tend to go wrong as often, and the rear is a harder one to replace.

Use the Moog mounting bracket bushings for the sway bars off of Rock Auto and your choice of Poly end link bushings. I went with the white Moogs and enjoy them.

Did you properly bleed the system after replacing the thermostat?

Thanks for the reply. But should I get the hydraulic or solid front mount? Yes, the system was bled ( an hour's shop time for that). But car still idles very harsh until warm and even after. There is an evap leak (dash message) which I keep failing to fix despite several tries over the past few years. Doesn't seem to be related.

I second Moog parts...can't go wrong with them...and I've personally always preferred solid mounts over oil filled (hydraulic) ones...seem like they always tend to leak and then quickly fail.
