DIY Solid Motor Mounts

By teal_dx
- Mon Oct 02, 2006 1:57 am #45 This is an easy mod, cheap too!

Solid Motor Mounts = less engine movement. Solid mounts WILL carry more engine vibration to the rest of the chassis.

1. Remove your motor mounts (after you pot blocks or something under the engine to support it) The rear mount is a huge PITA to remove, if you only remove the side mounts you will still see a big difference!

2. Clean the rubber area of the mounts with a toothbrush and degreaser.

3. You'll be setting the mount on it's side to fill it up, so tape the back off to hold the urethane in.

4. Fill it up! Let it sit for a few hrs before moving, let it sit for a day before you use it in your car.

It's been so long since I did that mod (5 yrs) I can't remember. They probably don't even have the same packaging anymore. Just be sure you get urethane and you should be good :thumb:

I know, they just don't have it in stock here, so the guys at NAPA asked me if I could give them a part number so they could order it... :eh:

- Mon Jun 16, 2008 1:22 am #58658 yeah you could, but this was cheaper and I think it would make it stiffer than a damper.
Still have the rims, but they're black now:
