More vibrations with new mounts

[Chris2388]

I just installed ESP solid motor mounts on my 92 accord.

I love how the motor does not move any more, But I hate how the car vibrates like crazy when taking off from a stop.

Is there anything I can do to fix the crazy vibrations?


Oh and the vibrations are in the dash, door panels, front seats and rear view mirror

[92smokeaccord]

yes there is....get stock mounts that arnt filled solid

You should have known to expect an increase in vibration when using those ESP mounts.

Make sure your engine is running as smoothly as possible in the first place. I was having problems with rough idle and rough running under acceleration in my EX. New set of stock plugs (I had a set of platinum NGK's with about 20,000 miles on them in it) helped quite a bit.

theres no kind of give in the motor so your car is absorbing all the vibrations

That's what solid mounts do. Didn't you do any research at all before buying them? That's like saying "I installed this 4" coffee can muffler, and now my car is super loud! Is there anything I can do about it?"

[Chris2388]

I understand what I did. I was only Asking if there was anything I could do to fix it.

I guess I should have asked is thee anything I can do to lesson it? I understand 100% that its not gonna go away.

[deevergote]

There's really not much you can do. Make sure your engine is in good shape, so it's not vibrating unnecessarily due to poor condition... like, make sure your ignition components are in good shape, your valve and ignition timing is set, etc...

You could drill them

[accordztech]

Raise the idle to 1100 rpm.

Raise the idle to 1100 rpm.

yea i agree
adjust it accordingly

consider running a combination of OEM and your fancy esp mounts.

The torque mount and the rear mount absorb most of the vibration that is being transferred to the vehicle.


That being said, running a mix matched strength of mount could lead to other issues.

Just a thought. I prefer to not use solid mounts. If its absoloutely needed, sure Ill do it. Otherwise, I could care less for the way the car drives after the solid mounts. I personally think it leads to other shit in the car rattling and vibrating in a way it wasn't intended too, and it takes its toll over time just like a loud stereo with super ridiculous loud subs.


Rattles all over car=not cool.
