Mmmm...Motor Mounts

***Jeff*** · Dec 5th, 2004, 04:18 PM

Jarrod and Shawn came over Friday night and we installed some poly-filled motor mounts. The procedure isn't too bad in changing this out.

The difference between my stocks (w/75k miles) and these are night and day. The car totally feels more solid now. I also tried a dump clutch and wheel hop has greatly reduced. Vibration also isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I give this mod a

.

Thanks Jarrod for his expertise and Shawn for his company.lol

poly is for wimps, you should've gone with solid aluminum mounts.

lol...Yeah, I heard solid aluminum rocks as motor mounts. Sadly I just couldn't afford them.

Motor mounts are waaayyyyy over rated. I just don't see a need for them. Just my thought's on the subject.

the dogbone mount on that beater nx i test drove wasn't bolted to anything, it was just sitting there. i guess motors don't even need mounts now.

IMO, wheel hop is waaayyyy over rated.

I am getting some of the new Energy Suspension Mount inserts and 6speed bushings for Xmas. I also have the "Short Throw Shifter" coming on Saturday.

i dont even have the dog bone (left it out) in my car and the only time i can tell is in reverse, but i believe the motor mounts i got for my car are amazing, i wish i could have found solid metal ones though

***Jeff*** · Dec 10th, 2004, 08:49 AM

What happens in reverse? Engine jumps noticeably?

SleepERr · Dec 10th, 2004, 10:40 AM

ehh you can feel the motor moving via the gear shift, that and i can feel it

I think there are a little different than the inserts for the Specs. You actually have to have a press to push out the center on the old mount and press the new inserts in for the Maxima.

Here is a pic.
