just filled my mounts with urethane and they turned out nicely. for anybody looking to do this as well, i snapped a few pics along the way to help:

or if you want me to do it for you i can. looking to make a little money for books when school starts.

is it much more solid/sturdy now?

i haven't put them back in my car yet since im finishing up a 5spd swap, however i can tell they are much more solid now, because i could wiggle the center bolt (the bolt that goes through the middle of the mount) before, but after filling it is very very difficult to budge. here's a good thread if you're interested:

do you think these will last a long time? i have the engine slop and bad on off gas feel

yes if you do it correctly. i would make sure and get good urethane (rated @ 80A for hardness). i'm not sure if that window weld stuff is the right hardness either. i know there are a lot of .orgers who have done this and been happy, and this is a much less expensive route than buying ES or PR mount inserts.

I like your car domain.. lots of good info.

was it realy hard taking youre mounts off to start? i read that theyre supposed to be imposible to line up again to install
the rest im oky with doing, seems pretty straight forward.
a week with no car would suck

I've read mixed reviews on the difficulty for reinstalling the mounts. ya a weak with no car would really suck.

thanks, i've gotten a lot of useful info from the .org community here so thats kinda my way of giving back as much as i can to help the other members out.


well, taking the mounts off isn't that bad if you have a friend/buddy to help you out. i'm in the middle of a 5spd conversion so i had some extra space to work with. it just helps to have someone hold the nuts while you take off the bolts. as for reinstallation, i just put my crossmember back in last night by myself (it's not that hard, you just have to keep adjusting the height of the engine and crossmember until they line up), but it would be helpful to have a friend holding the nuts to torque everything down (especially with the jackstands and jacks holding up the engine and crossmember in the way).

and yes, a week w/ no car would suck. but if you are going on vacation or something anyway, that would be a good time to fill your mounts if u wanted to, and then they'd be all ready for you when you get back =)

wow....not a bad idea!

does anyone have an idea of how much $$$ it would cost to have a shop replace the front and rear motor mounts if i supply the replacements???
