Is there a difference between Oil filled hydraulic motor mounts and the regular rubber and metal kind. You can see that there's a big difference in the price. This is for a 2000 Ford Windstar.?

Answer 1

If you can get the solid rubber ones as replacing the oil filled ones that should not be a problem for an 8 year old car. See this: http://www.aa1car.com/library/motor_mounts.htm "Replacement mounts may or many not have the same construction as the original. Fluid-filled hydro-mounts are expensive, so a more affordable alternative may be a solid replacement mount. But a solid mount obviously cannot provide the same level of dampening as the original hydro-mount. Consequently, you might not be happy with the way your car feels if a less-expensive solid mount is substituted for a fluid-filled mount."
