30251, Does anyone sell side motor mount inserts?
Posted by 420aVenger, Aug-15-02 08:27 AM
I have the front and rear and I've seen the ones RRE has. They say that you have to burn the old ones out and replace them. I was wondering if there are inserts for the sides like the ones Summit sells for the front/rear.

Well i cant help you there, but i have heard by many, that they dont do a whole hell of a lot,but add much more vibration. Being we are front wheel drive, the motor wants to rock back and forth, and not much side to side anyway. Although I would like to know if any one has done the sides, that if it has made any improvement or what it really does.

Good point w/ the side to side thing. I'd still like to know though also.

I'll know soon enough. Both of my side mounts are cracked. So i bought some used ones from trwebb26, and i am going to fill them with windo weld.

Prothane makes a set of eight halves, one set for each mount. I hear they make the sucker vibrate like all hell.

i run the energy susp inserts on front/back, and have an old roller hockey wheel all cut up, and shoved into the side motor mount... i didnt wanna mess w/the tranny mount, didnt know if it wudda fell to the floor or not, hehe....

she vibrates a lot more than stock, but i installed all at the same time, so i dunno if there is a diff...

i do know that a fellow 2gntR was tryin to get together a group buy, or market a full motor mount insert set a lil while back... maybe check the announcements/for sale section, or search in those for motormounts...

good luck

RRE also mentions window weld.... might wanna try that

I was tring to get together a group buy for the prothane mounts, but there wasnt a whole lot of interest. Prothane sponsored a set of the fronts and sides for my car, and i like them. I kept breaking the back motor mount, and when i installed the 2 sides and one front, it was enough to eliminate the banging from the broken rear mount until i could fix it......


you can e-mail me at owner@xeropoint.com if you would like to order a set...
