11998, got my motor mount inserts in (followup) kinda long

Many long overdue thanks for all the info everybody has given. I installed the fronts yesterday and drove around for a day. I put the rears in today and just got back from a test drive.

For most people the fronts are enough. The rears will cause the car to vibrate at idle. If you think your car has rattles now, put both sets in and you'll hear rattles you never thought you had. The rears will give you a cool foot massage through the pedals. Wheel hop was pretty much gone with the fronts. The rears eliminated it.

The difference I saw between the 95 and my 98 install is that my rear motor mount had 6 bolts where 95's only have 5. Also the fuel filter is in the tank, not on the firewall.

I do have one concern - When I was removing the rear bolts I saw a couple of drops of coolant. I think I bumped a hose. I guess it was coming from where the heater hose is clamped to the block. I'll watch it for the next couple of days. I didn't see anything wet when I came back from driving for about 15 minutes. I might tighten the hose clamps a little.

btw got the inserts from Summit - part # 5.1103R. Again, thanks for all the help guys.
