Mardarth Engine & Transmission Mount Kit for Ford Explorer 2011–2015 3.5L NA — 3-piece direct-fit, OEM-spec

Mardarth's kit replaces the factory engine torque strut, right motor mount and left hydraulic transmission mount for Ford Explorer 2011–2015 with the 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 — a direct-fit set designed to restore stable engine and trans positioning.

If your Explorer's engine movement has increased, you feel unusual vibration, or you need a complete motor/transmission mount refresh after high mileage, this three-piece Mardarth replacement kit targets the mounts most prone to wear on 3.5L NA automatic models. Each component is manufactured from upgraded raw materials and has gone through quality and safety performance checks to meet or exceed the original equipment specification without modifying the vehicle.

Which vehicles and engines are these mounts compatible with?

These mounts are specifically built for Ford Explorer model years 2011 through 2015 equipped with the 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 and an automatic transmission. They do not fit turbocharged variants or non-3.5L engine families.

• Compatible: Ford Explorer 2011–2015, 3.5L NA, automatic transmission
• Not compatible: Turbo models, other engine sizes, manual transmissions
• Designed as direct-fit replacements for OE mounting points

What parts are included and what are their OEM reference numbers?

The kit includes three distinct mounting pieces to address engine torque control and transmission support. Each part is identified by the common replacement numbers used for cross-referencing during installation or ordering.

• 3255 — Rear engine torque strut mount (controls fore/aft engine movement)
• 3273 — Right engine motor mount (supports engine weight on the passenger side)
• 3439 — Left transmission mount (hydraulic-style, supports trans nose)

How do these mounts improve driving feel and vehicle reliability?

Worn mounts allow excessive engine and transmission movement that can cause vibration, clunks during acceleration or gear changes, and increased drivetrain stress. Replacing aging mounts with properly spec'd units reduces vibration, stabilizes driveline geometry, and helps protect adjacent components.

• Reduces cabin vibration and engine/transmission rocking
• Improves shift smoothness by stabilizing the transmission mount
• Helps prevent premature wear on driveshafts, axles, and exhaust links

Is installation straightforward and what should I expect during replacement?

These mounts are made as direct-replacement parts that align with the factory mounting points. Basic mechanical skills and common hand tools are sufficient for a competent DIYer; however, professional installation is recommended if you lack torque tools or lifting equipment.

• Remove and replace mounts one at a time to preserve engine alignment
• Torque bolts to manufacturer specifications and check clearances
• Inspect surrounding hoses, brackets, and fasteners while access is available

Who is this for: This Mardarth replacement mount kit is aimed at Ford Explorer owners (2011–2015) with the 3.5L naturally aspirated engine who are experiencing increased vibration, engine movement, or drivetrain noise and want a complete, OE-referenced set of mounts. It suits DIY mechanics who prefer direct-fit components and professional shops seeking a budget-friendly OEM-equivalent option. The kit ships with a 30-day warranty for purchase confidence; contact Mardarth customer service for any issues or fitment questions.
