BeachRat Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Nice, Wish you'da posted it Did you have to press it in? The mount is subject to a lot of torque movementWe did, here:its been done before for about $2 in partshttp://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?showtopic=26474The old rubber was ground out with a dremel, and the new bushings fit in with with a little pressure: nothing a good vice or even a strong person can't do. I put large flat washers above and below (see pics) to keep them from slipping out, although I highly doubt they would have even without the washers!

I vote "No." Probably not stiff enough, but that's just my thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrigo Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 very nice. creativity is good!!what about making forms to pout the material in to dry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromtheshadows Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 very nice. creativity is good!!what about making forms to pout the material in to dry? You could make a mold or whatever if you had something to mold from. Yes this is how I plan to make other mounts as they fail. It will work. I thought about using existing poly pieces but I wanted the metal bolt pipe in the middle and I wanted the bolt hole to be in the same place as stock noticing that it wasn't perfectly verticle. Thanks for the extra info I didn't see that post when searching for poly and mount etc...if it works then it works, Id like some poly swaybar bushings too please as I have a friend who wants me to poly up his broken one. Do you have a cheaper 2$ solution for the lower torque mount because I have to do another one of those also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on taking the money I saved and purchasing some. I already did my lower torque mounts by filling in around the stock rubber. Because of the torque these parts see I was more comfortable using the poly that will conform to the part, but if your top mount works I might put some faith in insert pieces for the lower torque mount. I'm not good at taking pictures but I'm trying to change that. If I find poly pieces that will press in I'll post it. How do I close a thread?...

Yellow95 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I stuck off-the-shelf endlink urethane bushings in there instead, it's a little easier than filling it with uncured urethane, but more power to ya for doing it this way.Did those work pretty well?Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromtheshadows Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Did those work pretty well?GaryIn a previous post he showed they do, and I guess no failure so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
