Poly Engine Mounts Set

[Steve340]

I see several parts sellers have the polyurethane upgraded engine mount sets.
Looking to ask if they are worth buying.
Vibration issues?
Fitment problems?

Bullet proof with a couple of prices...vibration is one of them.

 

[Steve340]

Have you heard anything about how severe it is?

 

[moparleo]

Depends on your engine . Stock build..not bad. Lumpy cam..more . Make sure to also replace your trans mounts with the same material.

Most mounts seem to be made in India now , want to guess how good they are ?
I usually build a strap from the ear on the block to the crossbolt for the mount using 1/8 .125 thick 1" wide material , that stops mount failure

Agree with Chryco. I use the factory mounts with turnbuckle type strap from Schumacher. Works fine. Use a line of thread locker.

i just put one on the dr side..it vibrates a bit..trans and othr side are stockers..

 

[Steve340]

Interesting I wonder if it would pay to do the other mount and see if that helps with vibration.
I admit to be a little unsure of the poly transmission mounts.
I know of one car over here that the poly trans mount was the source of a drive line vibration problem.

I heard they squeak and make noise.
Anybody have any experience with that?

 

[Chryco Psycho]

I always use the poly trans mount it will not cause a problem if there is no existing problem , if there is a vibration it was there before the mount swap & needed to be addressed .
Poly engine mounts will not squeak , suspension bushings can squeak if they are not greased

I like the ole fashioned way - OEM parts ))

Foolproof...Drill thru the mount and countersink the down side for 5/16 counter sink allen bolt. Put a Nylock lock nut on it. Do not tighten to squeeze the rubber. Works great and will never break, no vibration probs either. Cheers!

As TomH said I have done this to a Ford mount and it worked very well.
You only need do the drivers side mount.
Given the feedback about vibration problems I would probably do this again.
Thanks all for replying.
