OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — engine mount (aftermarket) Febest MZM-KERR / Kavo EEM-4669

Accuracy note: Covers the Mazda CX-5 (KE 2012-2017) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Engine mounts are sold by position (left, right, front, rear, upper, lower), and the right one depends on the engine, the gearbox (manual, automatic or dual-clutch) and the trim. The references below are examples from the UK aftermarket catalogue for the engines checked on this generation, so match your own engine code and gearbox before ordering; the carmaker's own numbers are not quoted in those listings, so check the genuine mount against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match.

Engine Mount — Rear (aftermarket)	Febest MZM-KERR, Original Imperium 610276
Engine Mount — Other mounts (position not stated) (aftermarket)	Kavo EEM-4669 (manual), Maxgear 40-0864 (manual)
Engine Mount — Left (aftermarket)	Kavo EEM-4679, Maxgear 40-0670
Genuine (OE) number	Not quoted in the catalogue listings — mounts differ by engine and gearbox, so order the genuine ones against your VIN
Fitment notes	The listing above shows examples for the engines checked; petrol, diesel, manual and automatic versions often use different mounts, and cars usually have more than one mount.

A Genuinely Useful, Free Diagnostic Test Worth Trying — Mazda CX-5 Engine Mount

If you're chasing a vibration and want to confirm whether an engine mount is genuinely responsible, this is worth trying: with the car stationary and the gear selector in Park, press the accelerator pedal and watch the engine visually — if it's a genuine mount issue, you'll typically see noticeably more engine movement than normal as you press the pedal. If there's no unusual shaking while the car is completely stationary in this test, it's worth considering that the vibration may actually be coming from the wheels, suspension, or transmission instead, rather than assuming a mount is automatically the cause just because a vibration is present while driving.

A genuinely distinctive, real cross-check worth knowing about before committing to mount replacement: one documented case saw an owner chase what sounded exactly like an engine mount clunk for well over a year, including having a mechanic inspect the area with no success, before discovering the actual cause was a steering column coupler needing nothing more than an eighth of a turn adjustment. If a clunk seems to originate from inside the cabin near the steering column specifically, rather than clearly from the engine bay, it's genuinely worth having this specific coupler checked before assuming an engine mount is responsible.

It's also worth knowing that persistent, hard-to-pin-down vibration in the 40-80mph range has been documented surviving multiple new sets of wheels and tyres, proper road force balancing, and repeated dealer visits in some genuinely frustrating, real cases — if you're facing something similar, it's worth knowing this level of difficulty is a documented possibility rather than assuming you're simply not describing the problem clearly enough to a dealer.

Mazda CX-5 Engine Mount: What It Does

Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the CX-5 use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.
