Lower mounts & mounts spacers

[iRideGTP]

so is my lower engine mount busted or what!? where is the best place i can get solid tranny and engine mount? and while im in there i was thinking of also installing the mount spacers Vinnie sells. do u guys recommend the spacers?

Yeah motor mount seems shot. You shouldn't need spacers unless your lowered or intercooled.

 

[iRideGTP]

yea im lowered and i have slight vibration in the front when accelerating. the mount on the tranny side looks messd up also. do AutoZone or Napa carry solid mounts?

 

[dsmuts]

I know autozone does but you have to ask specifically about it.

Mount spacers for lowering and cradle spacers for hood clearance are very different things.

 

[dsmuts]

Yeah I thought about that after I posted it.

I made my own spacers, did the trick

Solid mounts from rockauto. Cradle spacers from Vinnie...easier to do when you change the mounts.

 

[iRideGTP]

will check out rockauto for mounts. l need mount spacers from vinnie not cradle spacers..i don't even think vinnie sells cradle spacers. thanks though

 

[Bio248]

cradle spacers do not come from vinnie and they move the cradle DOWN to LOWER the motor/trans.

engine/trans mount spacers move the engine UP.

Typo meant cradles spacers from zzp..and lowering spacers from vinnie.

I figured. Just don't want to have people confused and start saying the wrong things.

You can make your own pretty easy. I used some 1/4" scrap steel from work, cut it out into 1" squares, and drilled something like a 1/2" hole in each of them, and I had my spacers.

good idea..i will look into that

 

[Sandman]

Or even easier you can buy thick square washers, they may be a little big

 

[Bio248]

you could always just use washers, too.

you wouldn't be the first person to stack washers to make a spacer. and you wouldn't be the last, either.

 

[iRideGTP]

yall are starting to convince me on stacking washers. its 3/4" of height to add, right? ..atleast that's what i think the spacers add

 

[Bio248]

3/8"

Depends on how big the washers are. Otherwise you are just going to make the mount go out even faster.
