Product Details
Upgrade your seventh-generation Honda Civic with the Innovative Mounts Steel Replacement Engine Mount Kit (10550), designed for 2001–2005 Honda Civic non-Si models equipped with D-Series engines and compatible manual or automatic transmissions.
Engineered for improved drivetrain stability, reduced engine movement, and increased durability, this performance engine mount kit is an excellent replacement for worn factory mounts or an upgrade for modified D17-powered Honda Civic applications.
Factory Honda engine mounts use rubber and, in certain mounting locations, fluid-filled components designed primarily to isolate engine vibrations and maintain everyday driving comfort. Over time, these mounts can deteriorate, crack, leak, or separate, allowing excessive engine movement during acceleration, deceleration, and gear changes.
Innovative Mounts addresses these limitations with heavy-duty steel mounting components and specially engineered polyurethane bushings. The firmer mounting system helps minimize unwanted drivetrain movement, reduce wheel hop, and improve throttle response by maintaining more consistent engine and transmission positioning under load.
Each mount is CAD/CAM designed and stress analyzed for strength, durability, and precise fitment. The Innovative Mounts 10550 kit maintains the factory engine positioning and is designed for direct installation using original Honda mounting locations and hardware.
Available in multiple polyurethane bushing hardness options, this kit allows enthusiasts to select the appropriate balance between vibration isolation and drivetrain rigidity. Softer bushings are ideal for daily-driven applications, while firmer options provide additional engine control for higher-horsepower street and racing builds.
Whether you're restoring your daily-driven Civic, replacing deteriorated factory engine mounts, or building a turbocharged D17 performance vehicle, the Innovative Mounts 10550 Steel Engine Mount Kit provides the strength, durability, and responsiveness Honda enthusiasts demand.

Installation Notes
Verify Vehicle Compatibility: Confirm that the vehicle is a compatible 2001–2005 Honda Civic non-Si equipped with a supported D-Series engine.
Confirm Engine Configuration: This kit is intended for D17-powered Civic applications. It does not fit the K20A3-powered Civic Si EP3.
Verify Transmission Compatibility: Confirm that the vehicle uses a compatible D-Series manual or automatic transmission.
Support the Engine and Transmission: Properly support the drivetrain before removing the factory engine mounts to prevent unexpected movement or damage.
Remove Existing Engine Mounts: Follow the appropriate Honda service procedures when removing the original driver-side, passenger-side, and rear mounting components.
Inspect Factory Mounting Locations: Check the chassis mounting points, engine brackets, transmission brackets, and factory hardware for damage or excessive wear.
Install the Driver-Side Post Mount Bracket: Position the supplied 10510-SB bracket according to Innovative Mounts' installation instructions.
Install the Replacement Engine Mounts: Position the driver-side engine mount, passenger-side transmission mount, and rear engine mount in their designated mounting locations.
Reuse Factory Mounting Hardware: Inspect all original Honda fasteners before reuse. Replace damaged or excessively worn hardware.
Install Supplied Hardware Where Required: Use any kit-specific mounting hardware provided by Innovative Mounts in the designated locations.
Align the Drivetrain: Ensure the engine and transmission are properly positioned before final tightening to prevent unnecessary mount preload.
Torque Mounting Hardware: Tighten all fasteners according to the applicable Honda and Innovative Mounts specifications.
Verify Component Clearance: Inspect clearance around the engine, transmission, exhaust, intake, and surrounding chassis components before operating the vehicle.
Select the Appropriate Bushing Hardness: Choose the polyurethane durometer that best matches the vehicle's horsepower level, intended use, and acceptable vibration.
Expect Increased Engine Vibration: Performance polyurethane mounts generally transmit more engine vibration into the chassis than factory rubber or hydraulic mounts. Higher-durometer bushings typically increase vibration further.
Inspect After Installation: Recheck mounting hardware, drivetrain alignment, and surrounding clearances after the initial driving period.
Professional Installation Recommended: Installation by an experienced Honda technician is strongly recommended.
Confirm Fitment Before Bolting Down: Innovative Mounts states that mounts showing installation bolt impressions cannot be returned or exchanged. Verify all mounting requirements before installation.
