Parts for your 2013 Honda Stream-Engine mount

2013 Honda Stream engine-mount

Technical references, including Honda’s factory service information for the RN6–RN9 Stream (2006–2014) and OEM parts catalogues, confirm the 2013 Honda Stream is fitted with multiple engine mounts. These typically include the right (timing-side) mount, left (transmission-side) mount, and front/rear torque mounts. So yes—an engine-mount is absolutely relevant on a 2013 Honda Stream.

On this model, the engine-mounts secure the engine and gearbox to the subframe while soaking up vibrations so the cabin stays quiet and comfy. They also keep the driveline aligned under acceleration, braking and cornering. Many Streams use a hydraulic right-hand mount to better cancel idle buzz, with rubber and torque-rod mounts controlling fore–aft movement when taking off or backing up the driveway.

If the 2013 Honda Stream starts feeling a bit rough or clunky, a tired engine-mount is a usual suspect. Typical tell-tales include:

• Noticeable vibration through the seats or steering at idle (especially in Drive with the A/C on)
• A thud or clunk on take-off, gear changes, or when shifting between Reverse and Drive
• Excessive engine movement under the bonnet or a knocking sound over bumps
• Visible cracks in the rubber, collapsed mount height, or oily residue from a leaking hydraulic mount

Good practice for Aussie and Kiwi servicing is to inspect the mounts every 20,000–30,000 km during routine services, and any time there are NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) complaints. While not a fixed-interval item, many owners see mount replacement somewhere around 100,000–160,000 km depending on driving style, heat, and road conditions.

• Use quality OEM or reputable aftermarket mounts, mixing soft and firm mounts can introduce new vibrations.
• Support the engine correctly with an engine support bar or cradle—never jack on the sump.
• Tighten mount fasteners at normal ride height to avoid preloading the rubber, and follow torque specs from Honda service info.
• When one mount has failed badly, check its opposite mate and the torque rod, plus adjacent hardware and exhaust flex.
• After replacement, recheck for vibrations and any contact between engine components and the body or subframe.

Look after the 2013 Honda Stream engine-mounts and the car stays smooth, quiet, and far happier on the daily commute.

Popular questions about 2013 Honda Stream engine-mount

How many engine-mounts does a 2013 Honda Stream have?
Most RN6–RN9 Streams run four primary mounts: right-hand (engine side), left-hand (transmission side), and front/rear torque mounts. Some parts listings also show auxiliary dampers depending on variant. The exact count and style can vary with engine (R18A vs R20A) and market.

When should the engine-mounts be replaced?
They don’t have a strict time-based interval. Plan for inspection each service and expect replacement roughly in the 100,000–160,000 km range, sooner if there are idle vibrations, knocks on take-off, or visible rubber damage or hydraulic fluid seepage.

Can engine-mounts be replaced at home?
DIY is possible with the right gear—an engine support bar, stands, and a torque wrench. The key is safely supporting the powertrain and tightening at ride height. If any step feels dicey, it’s smart to hand it to a trusted workshop.
