Snapped Engine mount!

[meeeees]

Anyone else had this problem?? wanna make sure it dont happen again

 

[Henry]

which one has snapped? have seen pictures of top mounts and upper g/box mounts that have separated (not a 'common' problem, but can happen with mounts of their type). it's probably time to renew all of the mounts, so that they're all starting afresh

yep, common..

be ready to change mounts every 30k . They last longer but they wear pretty fast , bringing a lot of enginemovement which worsens throttle response/steer reponse etc.

When changed it will feel like a "new" car

Ive just ordered a whole new set from K-Tec racing came to £205 with postage.

Upper and Lower Gearbox, Upper Engine and Uprated Lower Engine bushes.

Along with Centre and Rear exhuast hangers as they have worn AGAIN (This will be my third set!!!) think its due to the engine moving so much also.

Will let you know how the car feels once i get them replaced bacause at the moment im hating driving it, and hope this gives the car a new lease of life - else its going!!

upper engine one on the o/s. gearbox one is totaly worn out too only just had the gearbox rebuilt, tis turning out to be a pain.

Happened the same to me 2 weeks ago. Upper engine mount gone, the metal bolt got ripped out of the rubber encasing...

Put them on my car after the stock ones broke.

Nice and tight you can really feel the engine responding to the pedal with no lag at all.

The problem is that you'll shake like a bi*ch when you are stuck in traffic... that might be because i also fit the dogbone bushes at the same time ... still
