The exhaust manifold ain't bad. Probably just some oil or coolant dripping on it.

Not sure what to say about the mount.

 

No, I guess manifold gaskets are dead.. I see how it comes from one spot.. When fans run on it goes away.. blows away...
Please, say something about mount!!!!!

Please, say something about mount!!!!!
OK - I went to the DEA Products website -

http://www.deaproducts.com/

filled in your information - 01 Deville - here is what they have -

A2895 - FRONT RIGHT MOUNT - SOLID OPTION -
A2895HY - FRONT RIGHT MOUNT - OEM HYDRAULIC

A2896 - TRANS REAR LEFT - SOLID OPTION -
A2896HY - TRANS REAR LEFT - OEM HYDRAULIC

A5302HY - TRANS FRONT LEFT - OEM HYDRAULIC

they do not list a "solid mount" A5302 -
I also did a search for "DEA A5302" - and those that did come up -
also had the word HYDRAULIC in the listing -
so I believe ALL the A5302 mounts are HYDRAULIC - A5302HY mounts -

 

Neither DEA part is OEM. One is hydraulic, one is solid rubber.

Even if there was an exhaust leak, there would be no smoke coming out.

 

I didn't get it. Is DEA OEM? Just say YES or NO, please.

----------

And why do I have such movement if its new??

 

Neither DEA part is OEM.

As in NO, the DEA parts are not OEM.

----------

Faulty or poor design.

 

Crap! It is damaged, isn't it?

 

Either that, or it's just a bad design.

 

Or not installed correctly.

 

How is that possible? Everything in right place where it belongs to. Everything tight and torqued according to spec. I did EVERYTHING right.

 

Then that leaves either faulty or junk.

 

It does even look right.. but it DOESN"T WORK RIGHT. And this is not my fault. I thought it is OEM.

 

I got A5302HY. Why do they say "OEM"??? I though they are really OEM!

-------------------------------
because they are made to the same specs/dimensions as the original -
and will fit like the original - doesn't mean the QUALITY is the same -

personally - I prefer Anchor brand mounts over DEA -
that's what I used in my SLS -

the Anchor 3020 is what the Deville uses -

Rockauto has the best price - $50 with shipping -

 

Sounds good! Do they have same quality as OEM?

 

-------------------
I would say YES -
because I have never heard of a problem with any of the replacements -

 

Thank you for help!

 

This is bulls#$t!!
I have installed new OEM mount and guess what?? Same stuff! It acts absolutely the same as my previous aftermarket! The bottom just stretches out same way I showed in the video! What's a hell???!!!

----------

Maybe I have problems with Transmission mount or Trans/Engine rear mount?

could be -

3 of the 4 mounts are rubber/hydraulic -
only 1 is a solid mount that can't wear -

this is the reason I suggested to get the car up on a hoist -
and do the brake-torquing -

some things you just can't inspect laying on your back -

 

I have already posted results of torque brake. I did it. I performed it and filmed it. Also posted here. Both side ones are fine: sit solid and no movement at all. Rear one solid.. I have never seen it. Front one.. pisses me of.. I don't understand what does it want from me..

 

The front one can't move without the others moving.

 

It is what it is. I don't lie. I saw with my eyes.

----------

Maybe these mounts need some type of activation? Something like "Push here", "Kick there", etc...

When the engine moves, ALL of the mounts move.

.....No.

 

I had the dealer inspect mine and they said that they are all fine. They put it up in the lift and brake torque it and the front one stretched just like your. They won't replacing anything though because apparently it's all fine. They inspected all mounts and the back solid one too.

 

They said it is fine? Weird.. Engine kicks and jumps when I put D gear. R gear very smooth, almost don't feel it.

MC side ones can be solid after market.

 

"Solid" just means all rubber, not hydraulic. They still move.

 

You are killing me. I will post video tonight.
They don't move.

 

The motor mounts on my 04 deville with 125k mile are totally worn out. The engine moves like 4 inches when I brake torque. I thought it was the front mount but now seeing your post I will check the rear mount more carefully. I have always found it difficult to determine which mounts are the worst. I will definitely switch to a solid mount hydraulic is not worth the money to me.
I have installed many motor mounts in the last few years, mostly on Japanese cars. I raise the car up on a lift and use one or two tall adjustable jack stands to push or hold the motor to one side or the other. It can really be difficult. The mounts frequently have studs that make removal and installation really difficult. Air tools really help getting those big bolts loose. I would recommend doing all the mounts if you want the motor move only 1 inch or less during the test. If you are enjoying learning how to work on cars then complete the process by doing a few more mounts and actually getting good at it. If you are worried about spending too much money then forget about replacing things like motor mounts, shocks and struts and just live with the vibration, clunks and rattles.

 

Scan, without the torque struts on you year that engine is going to rotate. Why do you think the mount wears so quickly. I can tell you that when one mount wears out the others are prob due for replacement. I also changed only the frt at first but notices alignment problems. Changed all the mounts and everything lined back up. The other mounts didn't look like they were moving and didn't look that bad when removed but they must have been.
I would suggest you find someone to make some Ranger rods for your car(or make yourself) and the engine movement will be 95% gone. Without torques struts on my 98 that engine came up 3 to 4 inches easy(i tested just to see what would happen)
