Replace motor mounts #32

Closed jglovier closed 8 years ago

jglovier commented 9 years ago

During the post purchase inspection, Dwight discovered the rear motor mount bushing is worn/corroded/torn and should be replaced. He said it isn't urgent, but should get done. It's the reason you feel the car really pull back when you downshift. Donny said these are not hard to replace, and we could do it ourselves.

Some purchase options:

from Password JDM
~~from Andy's Auto Sport~~ (don't buy from Andy's!! See #33)
from Amazon
from Rahal (?)

NOTE The red bushings are the softest urethane (60A). Buy the black bushings (75A).

Be sure to inspect front lower motor mount for damage, which is not included in the replacement mount kits.

Ordered the Hasport mounts from Amazon.

Dad and I did this a few weeks ago.
