How-To: Fill Stock motor mounts with Urethane

[TeggyBear_Ls]

Oh okay, that's not that bad, pretty decently priced I guess.

Another question, you said that it's used for worn and cracked motor mounts..... Can you not do this while your OEM mounts are still intact?

 

[Cheesenip]

you can do it anytime. I just said used, torn, worn etc b/c itll be cheaper to obtain a set

 

[TeggyBear_Ls]

Sweet. I'm hella doing this than......... Eventually

 

[db8_Joe]

does the car vibrate more? i know my car vibrates a considerate amount with prothane and es Moter mounts. but the drive is sooo worth it

 

[Cheesenip]

yes it will. With any kind of motor mount inserts or anything, it will increase.

 

[TeggyBear_Ls]

Wow, I may need to fix my motor mounts sooner than I thought,...... One of them is hella shot. I did a test, and it's effed up.....

 

[Cheesenip]

then do what I did

my tranny mount was worn so bad from where one of my engine mounts were loose that once i got the motor mount put back in place the tranny mount fell off. fell the f*ck off. haha

im gonna do this on my torque mounts, save myself $90.00. - the $15.00 for the urathane

I have all 3 of my mounts filled in my 97 and the engine moves very little. I need to put my solid bobble strut in but Im kinda scared.

Going from worn mounts to filled mounts, yes you can tell. After 18k miles on mine, all I really notice is some vib's at idle. Nothing horrible.

GREAT writeup... we have been doing this with racing mounts for years (cheaper then inserts). We just use black RTV/Silicone.. I have some racing engines with 20K on the silicone mounts and they are still holding up.. I have a feeling this windshield caulk will last even longer.

 

[Cheesenip]

it will, its alot stronger than rtv/silicone
