Ford Focus LS vibration

[xr8 007]

Hi all, got really bad in cabin vibrations on my LS Focus at idle. Everything else including engine codes is perfect. Mechanic had a look and said mounts are ok. However I think he missed the mount on the passenger side.

How hard is it to change all the mounts around as the vibration is driving me crazy? Where abouts is the battery/passenger side mount located?

Passenger side mount is under the battery tray.

Good video for the drivers side mount: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRM5hH679uI
Yes, American Focus but very similar in this case (they will just call it driver's side mount)

And a video showing the passenger side mount - on a Mondeo, but same 2.0L engine and similar mounts: 15 minutes onwards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SdfR2RaA6k

Torque mount - under the car - just a few bolts, here is what it looks like on the US Focus, very similar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGk3aG3Qjew
This video actually shows all 3 mounts pretty well

The passenger's side mount is a pain in the rear.

Those videos by "Craig" are pretty good. Same ones I followed.

As for the rear mount - be careful. Most places will flog you a Mazda 3 part. It isn't their fault. They have been told it is the correct part.

Thank you gents, I cant believe the mechanic didnt diagnose the mount as the problem. I assume as its hidden under the battery and not as visible like the drivers side one they just ignored it to the age of the car.

I had a mechanic NOT diagnose the problem, but on the other hand he was right that the RHS drive shaft was buggered and needed replacement.
