Hello,
I was doing the rear motor mount in my accord because I was having problems with vibration at idle.

I got it out and it appears to be basically perfect. However I can't figure out how this vacuum actuator works. I took off the vacuum part so I could move the lever by hand. It moves perfectly smoothly, with no resistance, so I figured it was broken. I even tried putting into a press but I felt no difference in resistance with either position of the lever.

I bought two TRQ mounts and another cheaper mount. They don't move as smoothly as the OEM one (paint or bad tolerances) but it still doesn't feel like it's actuating something.

Does anyone here know what a good mount is supposed to feel like? I'd like to get my car back so I'm thinking I'll just throw the OEM mount back in if nobody knows what's going on here.
