Keaton85 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 All those motor mount brackets are the same.... you would be insane to buy one, idono why anyone would even consider buying the whole bushing installed onto the bracket It's just a motor mount, its not like your installing a clutch here...

SWM Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 haha, i know but some are saying the OEM rubber bushing is very difficult to install, unlike the poly one, so if i wanted the rubber, but didnt have the skill, then buying the whole arm might be the right route.

Keaton85 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Are you two kidding me here? If your going to go through the trouble of taking that bracket off in the first place and wasting money. Why dont you just take it off, then get a shop to press in an OEM bushing!! most shops would probably even do it for free as it would take 5 minutes. Or you could just install a poly bushing in 30 mins and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Will Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Keep in mind this isn't about goading a poster into doing something he/she doesn't want to do, this is all about information. The options have been laid out for the OP. Personally, yes I too would do the poly bushing. I have one on my wagon and never noticed more vibration from that. I also have the QBM lower torque mount and I didn't notice more vibration, but each car is a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i was back in Maine where all my parts are stored i would gladly send him off a bracket so that he could get an OEM installed and have little to no down time. A junk yard would probably even give them away, or someone on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_P Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 thanks gang.The one I have is really no different from the IPD one other than color. It worked fine but I did not like the additional vibration. Like I said it is yours for the asking, just cover shipping and I will send it. Send me a PM if interested. Otherwise I will put it in the For Sale section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokencrank Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I just installed a poly upper mount (eEuroparts) as my stocker had disintegrated to virtually nothing! No difference felt as far as vibration in my case, and It was at most, a 20 minute job... Get the nearly free one from Mike_P and if you have issues installing it you are welcome to drive to my place near Newport, and I will help you install it.
