INFO:People w/ Poly Mounts and Vibrations

Needs A Turbo
Just found something out...not sure if people know this or not...i had alot of vibe at stop lights with my poly mounts and clicking noises over bumps and when putting it into and out of gear...thought it was the ****ty zzp poly 2 piece mounts...but if you have alot of mileage check out your upper dog bone bushings because i didnt know mine were bad....take them out and put the bolt through the upper bushing and if you have play they are bad....what happens is the metal bushing in the rubber portion is not a solid tube....it appears to be a metal piece bent into a circle so it can be banged bigger (from the poly square mounts) and this play lets the motor move alot and quite literally vibrate inside that bushing piece making stop lights unpleasant...i was gonna get poly rounds from intense but i tried some before and it increased vibration....so instead i bought new dog bones from advance auto....i looked at them before buying them the round metal tube in the new ones is a solid piece with bumps in tube portion for an even tighter fit......car now does not vibrate at lights is quiet over bumps and into and out of gears.....seems to me most people with polys and vibrations probably over look this and think its from the mounts when its not and i know because i have the zzp ones which are the hardest compund made i believe....just a heads up...both dogbones from advance auto were 50$ total btw....almost shelled out the extra ~50$ to get zzp aluminum bones with rubber bushings but im on a budget :th_winking:
 


did your car vibrate like crazy? i had intense rounds ans sold them...my car vibrated so much at lights i swear it gave me headaches.

Nope ;-) Have someone with a tuner raise your in gear idle by 150 rpm. All your vibration will magically disappear.

no, not that bad. i could feel it in the steering wheel, but i never felt it anywhere else (the seat, the pedals, etc.) and when i was moving i never felt any vibrations.
