polyeurothane mounts

**Kaotic_ws6** · 04-19-2009, 02:06 PM

just now got to drive my car after i did a poly tranny and poly torque arm mount. my buddy told me that there would be more interior noise and vibration... but its horrible

and now whenever i punch it, it feels like something is binding/ rubbing and holding my car back from its power, DOES NOT feel like motor problems. and my tires did rub alittle before but that shouldnt have gotten worse i dont think.... any suggestions or somethin yall know that i dont? PLEASE HELP

Yep thats why.. lol.

Lots of people have had issues with them. Take it back out and grind the two rubber nubs flat and dont use the backing plate. It will solve most of the issues.

no not the backing plates that were on the old mount. i just thought you meant the inner peice that clamps onto the torque arm mount

No the transmission mount, there are rubber nubs on the ES model and a backing plate. It causes the driveshaft to vibrate.

Its a universal mount.

No backing plate or nubs and it will be much more tolerable.. PLUS it does break in over time. I DD mine.

yes

It will be rougher regardless but it was droning so bad at first from vibrating.

Like something metal on metal

yes i ground the 2 nubs and didnt use the plate.....and i love my es mount
I have both the TA mount and the trans mount
do like joshie said and you will be fine.

**Kaotic_ws6** · 04-19-2009, 04:34 PM

so yall think thats what my car was doin? reacting to that by the driveshaft vibrating and making my car run weird

**TransAm11973** · 04-19-2009, 04:38 PM

most likely, those 2 bumps in addition to the plate, add decent thickness, which changed the shaft angle. most likely causing your vibrations. Now remember with poly mounts you will have more vibration then you would with a stock mount, but it should be tolerable. Not anywhere near as bad as you are describing it. Take off the plate and grind down the bumps and put it back on, you should be quite happy with the difference

The Prothane mount is more vehicle specific, no bumps, no plates, no bull$h*t.
