MOTOR MOUNT - PASSENGER SIDE

[Mike1955]

I have 2 of these cars: 2015 LT Hatch 1.8, and a 2016 LTZ sedan 1.4 turbo. Both automatics.

This message pertains to the 2015 1.8 hatchback motor mount on the passenger side. There is some degree of confusion involved all based on whether the car has a "sport package", that affects (supposedly) the motor mount design.

If you look at the 2 styles of passenger side motor mounts for a 2015 1.8 engine, the mount varies somewhat. VIN "G" or "H" numbers are involved as well. Mine is a H.
The mount numbers stamped on the metal do not match up, and there is also a large round black rubber dongle or balancer for one. The one on the car does not have it, the one I ordered on ebay does. This is the site where I obtained this info:

My question: The mount do not look the same. (round rubber dongle), plus there is a YouTube video about this alerting to the use of correct mounts. There was also a reference to a bolt not matching up or fitting as well.

1: Could this mount I bought with the rubber dongle be used in place of the other one?
2: If not - could the mount be used for the 2016 LTZ 1.4 turbo sedan car?

3: Chevy: WHY complicate matters?

Should be the same either way. The rubber thing is probably for vibration dampening or something. If anything is in the way, it looks like it can just be unbolted.

I sent the part back and ordered the correct GM part for $60 plus tax/shipping. The difference is in having a SPORT PACKAGE or not. Looking up the VIN online doesn't reveal this on a car.

Personal preference I guess, but I feel more comfortable in replacing a part that looks the same, and is associated with the car and engine based on 2 different GM websites that I input the VIN.

Unless your car has the SPORT PACKAGE or already has that rubber balancer thing on the mount, the one you need is the second large image. #4037.

This mount is specific to the passenger side motor mount. It gets even better when tracking down the transmission side - auto or manual.
