Re: flipping motor mounts
hmm, i don't think i'm following correctly. the 2 upper stabilizer mounts can be rotated 90* or do you mean 180* (upside down)? how does this make them move less? i've seen a few people talking about this, but haven't had a clue as to what they were talking about. haha..

What is meant by "flipping" the mounts is that you physically rotate the rubber bushing INSIDE the metal motor mount housing. NOT the actual housing itself :)
I hope that clears it up for ya :th_thumbsup-wink:

I think its only 90*. If you do 180* you are basically at the same point where you started. By doing only a 90* turn you in essense place the bushing further forward, towards the front of the car, making the bushing harder to pull against.
Think that is right............But then again I am thinking on only 4 hours sleep in the past 36 hours :th_nervous:
Re: flipping motor mounts
yup. you got it. you spin the rubber bushing in the front mount. i took them off, sprayed them with wd-40, jammed the bushing in a vice and turned the mount. took me 20 minutes to finish it up and reinstall them.
the poly mounts i have now are awesome though.
Re: flipping motor mounts
ok, i get it now. wow i feel like a dope! from what it sounded like, you had to rotate the whole mount! haha..i'm working on only a few hours of sleep myself, so i'll take that excuse too! ha.. i'm thinking of the poly mounts too, since it looks like one of my bushings is damaged anyway. does anyone know of any other places to look besides the place listed earlier in this thread? ebay perhaps?
