That's such a bummer, especially at this time of year. Just worry about feeling better yourself Ray.

Get checked out and feel better dude. I'm sure no one cares about getting their mounts that much sooner.

Thanks guys, went to the hospital and the doctor said the pain I am feeling is normal for being in an accident. I feel a lot better this morning, there is still pain, but i have partial movement now which is an improvement.
I'm not sure what days FedEx will be open this week, but I will find out and start shipping when they do.

Glad to hear you're ok! Make sure to do follow up visits to the doctor if anything gets worse. Will their insurance be covering your expenses and repair?

Glad to hear your OK Ray. You'll probably be in pain for a while. Partial movement, where? Did you get "whiplash" or something similar? Anyway. just rest, try to enjoy the holidays, and worry about the bushings later, when you feel better.

As long as you are alright bro, you can ship these things later. With the holidays etc, nobody needs them asap anyway.

As an Occupational Therapist, I recommend you try this home remedy. Take a medium size towel, wet it, ring it out, microwave it for ~1min-1.5min, until it's steaming hot. Wrap it in a dry towel and use it as a moist heat pack on the affected areas. It's amazing how well moist heat works to relax sore/tight - muscles/tendons, and decrease inflammation for improved mobility/pain relief. Just be careful not to overdo it and burn yourself. Hope this helps with your recovery.

I'm glad you're alright, I hate accidents. Hey make a trip to a chiropractor and have them take a look at the x-rays too. Their profession is bones and there are some pretty good docs out there. I hope your health continues to improve. don't do too much too soon.

I'm ok physically, just a little pain in the neck and shoulders. Doctor said it is normal but if the pain persists I should go back and see him. Went to work Tuesday and Wednesday and felt pretty good

As long as you're good bro! Its just soreness from the impact, when I had my accident it was soo bad I couldn't walk. I kept telling the doc my legs were broken and made them give me x-rays twice

Thanks for shipping them out!

Ok, all the bushings have shipped except for the TMEC guys. I'll deal with you in the new year.

Check your email fro tracking numbers, it was much easier to do it that way than to pm everyone. I just replied to the paypal email

Mine was delivered today as well, I'll check it out when I get home from work, which shouldn't be too long considering 90% of the office is on vacation

Thanks for the fast shipping knight!

The bushings should slip into the mounts with no more than a light tap with a rubber mallet. The steel sleeves are a little tight, you will have to bang them with the mallet.

I shipped first to those who paid first

I have had some inquiries as to when the next batch will be made. I will do it the same way Mr. Catts sells his headers. Start a list of who is interested and when we get ten guys together i will order more "pucks".

it looks like these will work with at least some 4th gens. one guy measured up his mounts and bought a set so hopefully he can confirm whether or not they work. Then I can post in the 4th gen column and get the ball rolling a little faster.

Thanks for the update. There is a good chance I will be in on the next order. I'm just curious to hear how the current owners like them.

I replaced my Pass engine mount and the two torque mounts last year with Ebay ones and the Torque ones ripped apart two months ago. I finally manned up and got the ES bushings and couldn't be happier. I'm still getting a clunking and willing to bet that the ebay pass mount is bad already.

Excellent. I have the torque link, and while it performs amazingly, it is too rigid. I think the bushings would be a perfect compromise.

^^------ +1 (Agreed!) Says the guy (me) who has never owned a torque link. But exactly my thoughts.
