energy suspension motor mounts installation help

[sinan]

hey everybody,

just got a hold of some motor mount inserts and gonna give it a crack tonight with a mate. i know there is only a handful of people that have got these let alone installed it themselves but for the people that saw or actually installed it themselves have you got any tips or guides on the install. any special tools i need? do i need a hoist or can i just do it with a jack and some chassiss stands?

thanks in advance guys

Shouldn't need any special tools or a hoist but you will need a jack under the sump to support the engine while the mounts are being swapped over...

Also, use something soft between the jack and the sump so you don't dent it or cause any damage...

thanx alot mate. just in the proces of doing it now. got the car up on stands and got a spare jack. ill just place a plank of wood under the sump to suppost the motor. i think ill start with the front one first and see how it all goes.

Alot of lube. And you'll need more than a night to do it. The front is easy. The rear isn't.

ok fellas. after a few hours and enough swearing to last me a year got it all done. did end up using lube but only a very small amount. got it all done in a few hours though trying to get the rear bolt that goes through the mounts was a bitch to take out. bent a rachet in the process. lol we used so many extentions i ended up loosening it from the passenger side wheel arch after we took the tyre off. thought putting the rear mount back on with the inserts was the biggest sl*t. took for ever. has made a fair bit of improvemnts and also extra rattles inside cabin. also did go for a quick joy ride and it has seemed to imrpove shifting. had problems shifting before at redline but now it seems to go in no dramas.

thanx everyone for the help
