This method is for filling the spaces in the motor mount bushings with the holes in them which are there to allow movement.

yeah solid... but blox bushings has a pretty bad rep for being shot way too soon...

so was wondering if this is a good way to "refurb" or "replace" the rubber bushes onces theyre shot...

- Thu Mar 10, 2011 2:06 pm #243299 I have never tried... you would have to be sure that the pin is centered exactly in the middle and not crooked. I suppose you could but when you can buy an Energy Suspension master kit with every poly bushing for $125, I think that it wouldn't be worth the time + materials + chance of them not being perfect doing them yourself.

- Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:47 am #248417 I tried this... I filled up my mounts and let them sit next to our woodstove where they would be roughly 75 degrees at all times. I let them sit for 3 weeks and they seemed pretty stiff. after the first 10 minute drive they had already cracked open and I didn't even beat on them. just normal driving. i have no idea how you guys are getting good results with this method. I'm gunna try the Quiksteel stuff and see how that works
