Just got a Poly'd front mount got a question

[owequitit]

yeah its definitely a new experience for me, everything feels more alive lol. But the advantages of it definitely outweigh the disadvantages. +'s: better acceleration, smoother shifts, easier to shift from D>R or P>D/P>R. but the ONLY neg. i experience is the shaking at idle, so i'm hoping it'll decrease slightly or break in in about a week or so. But what will take getting used to is before the shaking was associated with bad mounts, in this case the mount is good. Unless, does it matter which position the dogbone faces? I know the big part is on top obviously, but should it face left or right?

It isn't going to soften. That is why I recommend the softer poly. Most of the advantages of the hard stuff (about 80%) without nearly as much vibration.

most? well what lost? I'm also a proud owner of an auto, and im seriously considering purchasing new mounts to better my shifting and torque

I have 94a mounts, I believe... uslspct did them for me. I have all 4 mounts filled, so I get a good deal of vibration at idle. It's only noticeable at idle though... Driving, it's fine.

I believe automatics tend to vibrate more than manuals... just from my own experience.

yeah vibrations go away once I start driving or if i shift into neutral. But i really don't want to do that all the time, it gets annoying.

With a manual H22 I had a solid front (soft) and a solid rear mount (EXTREMEMLY hard), and it vibrated like it was going to come apart. I took the rear mount out and still have the soft front insert in. It vibrates a little, but it is about 90% less than with the solid rear, and I don't really notice many tradeoffs.

And on an auto F22 that is almost stock, you don't really have enough torque to justify anything other than the soft stuff.

Unless you want to drive a vibrator.

It also makes the car noisier.

And yes, auto's vibrate more due to the fact they have a constant load on the engine.

yea,my boy ceeloob make them good mounts man,i got a tranny mount from him and it feels totally diff.

Strange, I run a solid rose joint front mount (no rubber bushes), and havn't noticed any harshness at all??

yeah his mounts are well built, just wish i woulda gotten that 80 formula instead of the 94A, but its cool, solved more problems then it caused so i can't complain.

do you have an auto or manual? some of the more experienced guys on here have said it's less harsh than the auto's b/c of not having a constant load constantly on it. it's just harsh when i'm idling from like 750-1000rpm, after that its perfect.

Mines Manual. Yea that makes sense, comparing it to an auto

not trying to thread jack here....but I want to know what should we go with

80 all around or 94a......

I have a manual also.....

It depends what you want. The stiffer the polyurethane, the more vibration you'll get... but the benefit is minimal torque transfer lost to engine flex.


I'd go with the stiffer, and I did, because the whole point of it is to get as much from it as possible!

If I do my mounts im going with the 80ish stuf since I dont want to seem tooooooo riiiiiiiicy...

agreed thats why i have the 94a in my mounts.

[owequitit]

I would do 80 simply because the added durability is nice, without having to put up with the vibes 24/7.

Besides, I can only think of a few cars on this site that would maybe overpower 80.
