Ml270 engine mounts 2002 facelift

There's a lot mentioned about enigine mountings causing vibration's, are they a dealer part and how much are they?, as the vibration i have appeares to be related as its more evident at low revs ie: 1500-2000rpm had the drive shafts/etc checked and no faults found, even replaced a gearbox mount the vibration can be induced even when the vehicle i not moving?, can the exhaust cause vibration's when old, as mine's starting to get a bit noisy (baffles making a rasping sound) priced a replacement centre box is £450 quid +vat and fitting!! longlife make a stainless complete system from the cat back for £599 all in including fitting! as any one tryed one?.

If you want to save money, try doing the driver's side engine mount first. It is the main culprit as that is the side that loads up under torque. If it improves, but not enough, then do the passenger side. You will find a world of difference when they are done. They compress and harden with heat and age. Can't give you prices - sorry.

Just out of interest are the mounts a DIY job or are they more involved with specialist tools and equip.

Very accessable and easy to replace....a trolley jack and a socket/spanner set is all that's needed. About an hour maximum to replace both.
