How many motor mounts does a Honda Accord have?
Most four-cylinder Honda Accords have three motor mounts, with some V6 and hybrid variants using four. The exact count depends on the generation and engine option.
Engine mounts secure the engine to the vehicle’s frame and dampen vibrations, and the Accord’s mounting layout has evolved across generations. Depending on the engine choice and model year, you may encounter three or four mounts in the engine bay.
Typical counts by engine configuration
Below is a quick guide to what you’re likely to find in most Honda Accord models based on the engine type.
- Four-cylinder engines: three motor mounts — a front center mount under the crank area, a rear/upper mount near the firewall, and a separate torque/engine-to-transmission mount on the side.
- V6 engines: four motor mounts — two engine mounts (front and rear) plus two additional mounts that secure the transmission/torque path and help control vibration.
In practice, some hybrid and specialized layouts may adjust the mounting points, but the three-versus-four count above covers the vast majority of models you’ll encounter on the road.
Notes by generation and model year
Because Honda updated the Accord across generations (from the mid-1990s to the present), some earlier or niche variants may differ. If you’re planning a repair or part replacement, consult the service manual for your exact year and engine code (for example, K-series four-cylinder or J-series V6) to confirm the exact number and location of mounts.
Maintenance considerations
Inspect motor mounts for cracks, oil contamination, torn rubber, or excessive movement. Worn mounts can cause vibration, misalignment, and damage to the exhaust, hoses, and belts. Replacing mounts typically requires proper support to avoid engine shifting or injury.
Summary
In short: most four-cylinder Honda Accords have three motor mounts, while V6-equipped variants commonly use four. The precise configuration varies by generation, so check your model-year manual or inspect the engine bay to confirm the exact mounting count for your car.
