Boomba Racing Rear Motor Mount Installed

[cmwalton16]

@cmwalton16 are you going to try it again?

It wouldn't torque down to 69 ft lbs on the engine side. That's why I took it out to begin with even though I was getting vibrations.

One of their earlier replies said that it was "normal" after torquing an aluminum piece...

I think you should try it again man. I'm going to install mine tomorrow. Where is the jack point on the side behind the front tires?

I'm torn on it. Torque situation is what is keeping me from it, something just wasn't right. Also, 1500 miles would be an eternity with the vibrations I was experiencing.

Torque situation? I don't remember you mentioning that.

I ended up going with the Hasport mount with 62a, won't be going on for a month or so but we'll see.

You're going to find that any aftermarket motor mount has noticeably increased vibrations.

In regards to any issues with the mount being "damaged" when installing are you referring to the section highlighted in red?

If so, that just looks like normal indentations from there being a bolt on top of the insert.

I couldn't get the stock motor mounts bolts to loosen, tried many different wrenches. And I broke a plastic clip on my under guard while trying to install. Booked an appt with my local shop on Wednesday to get that and the rear sway bar installed....

That one on the right does just look like a dent however to my eyes the one on the left looks line its actually tearing apart and it actually looks like it was starting to separate about 15-20% of the way around the circumference right near the bolt hole. I don't have it in my hands thigh so I could be wrong

That poly doesn't really look like any I've ever seen. You can see in the first picture that it's all glossy, whereas in the second pictures it looks cracked and dry. Did you apply heat to the mount when installing it?

Are you supposed to apply heat when installing?
