I'd like people who have bought and used "Belgium" (used) engine/ trans mounts, and those who have bought new Chinese mounts to come in with how good they are and how long they lasted.
The time has come for me to change my engine and transmission mounts, three of the four engine/trans mounts have cracks and there's increased vibration felt in the cabin, my mechanic has advised to buy "Belgium" (used) mounts from Lagos and not to buy Chinese made new mounts, he says the Belgium ones absorb vibrations better and often last much longer, kindly come in with your opinions and experience 🙏🏾

Kindly keep the votes, suggestions and ideas coming

Same used ones are actually Chinese ones.

If you can get original used one ensure it has not expired. Its better than fake new ones.

But if you see original new one its doesn’t come cheap. If you can afford it please order it online. That one would be better.

Toks doesn’t mean it’s from the car manufacturer. It is mostly after market parts especially if the said car model is above 10years.

Thank you, your contribution is a good pointer, car is older than 10 years so I agree there's no way any Belgium mount is manufacturer installed / isn't weak already.
I considered ordering from Ali express but I couldn't find all four, I found one but the shipping fee is three times the actaul cost of the mount, i should check other websites.

problem with flight nowadays is that they have heavy regulations with metals.

Mini importation like aliexpress uses flight. Anything that has metal in it outside mini electronics is heavily regulated. And have higher shipments fees.

I order candle stand during the festive period from alixpress. Order was delayed before it was shipped. After 3 weeks it was canceled because it encountered problem. I know the seller is not informed of shiment cost because it was free shipment. Maube after realizing it. He then claimed out of stock.

That was most likely the reason yeah, i am looking at other options now.

Currently having this issues now. I changed two of my engine mounts and still experiences vibration when stationary and my gear on drive.

The mechanic I took the car to, advised me to remove those Chinese mounts and get tokumbo mounts. Will take the car to him on Saturday. The vibration is not cool

What car is this exactly? How much did you get these Chinese mounts, I've made a lot of research online and offline, I have found out when one or two mounts get bad it means their failure to absorb vibrations stresses the others which are comparably in a good state, and changing just the ones looking very bad won't be a very good idea, better to change all. Three are obviously torn apart in mine and the fourth one is looking okay, but I plan to change all four. Did you get these Chinese mounts online?

The car is Toyota corolla. I have replaced the Chinese mounts with tokumbo and the vibration stopped. In fact, one of the Chinese mounts was already broken and was wrongly fixed by the previous mechanic.

I got them fróm spare parts market not online

"Already broken", that's crazy, good to know vibration is gone, I'm yet to fix mine, still not decided on tokunbo or aftermarket
