Default Top Engine Mount
Does anyone ever lube their top engine mount rod ends ? Mine feels pretty stiff.

They should be stiff, if you can move'm by hand it's time to replace. I just replaced mine, realized they were bad because of excessive engine vibration. By the way nothing to lube except to keep the bolt from rusting.
