Mount em up!

[K2 Kaiju]

Just got my ride nice and buttery with the OEM magneride replacements when I started noticing a slight clunk at takeoff from a stop. Popped the hood and did the the test looking for the tell tale twist. Sure enough, it was quite noticeable. After watching about 4 youtube vids on this, I am ready to tackle this job - with my wallet! I had enough manly fun doing the 4 shocks, but this looks like a huge PITA for a driveway job without a lift. My question is - is it advised to do both or just the driver? Also, I assume OEM are best for smoothest ride?

Are you saying you have a bad motor mount on your '18 Yukon Denali? If so, I don't think there's been much experience or mention of failing motor mounts on the K2XX platform? I thought that was just a common GMT900 issue.

How many miles on your '18 Yukon Denali?

While the motor mount on the drivers side is the one most likely to fail, my recommendation is to do both at the same time.

You can totally do it without a lift. I did. It was indeed a PITA, but I saved THOUSANDS of dollars by doing it myself. I did the driver's side only.

I usually would, but lately all the easy stuff has turned into challenges - while this one starts out looking like a **** show. I can see hours of pure hell laying on my back with shake arm and violent verbal outbursts. Does this job really cost that much?

Well, I reached out to the dealer, and looks like $850 total for OEM with 2 year warranty. Not too shabby to have it done correctly. Wonder if I should get them to do something else while their at it...

"While they are at it..." does not compute for dealers.
I garronntee if you had a repair that included pulling the engine and asked to have the motor mounts replaced "while they are at it" the book time for each job would apply.

$850 for both? With new mount heatshield intact? Where are you located?
