today, when i tried to remove my ac mount, one of the threads that the mount bolts onto the chasis was stripped, but eventually, i got it off. Dont think im going to put anohter bolt through it... so i just left my car as is.. without an ac mount.
How important is that mount, i would think its not very. since the mount itself is very weak from factory, and half of them i see are already torn. Do you guys think its safe to just leave it like that? thanks

 

no you cant leave like that, its there for a reason, its one of the 3 torque mounts.
get it tapped

 

hmm..... wat do people do with cars that don't have ac?? obviously cant have that mount.

 

are you serious?no you dont have to take that mount off to take out the AC.
at least look at the engine before saying something....

 

no.. im not taking my ac off.. im saying for those people that remove ac from their cars to save weight, they remove the ac bracket also, which also removes the ac mount.. and have not heard any problems yet. and generally those people that remove ac for the weight typically have heavily modified cars, which would put more stress on engine mounts, but since they dont have any problems, i highly doubt i will too..
hmmm.. i find myself answering my own question.. well anyways... need more opinions..

 

ok buddy....

noobs like you

to add: if you leave that mount off you gonna mess with engine movement(like when hard shifting or launching),and you gonna end up breaking the rest.

 

noobs like me.. haha. my old sn was mingchi96.. until they banned me cause i posted something non iTR in the ITR forum.. then got mad and kept making stupid rice questions just to **** them off.. so eventually they banned me.. bastards.

well.. maybe it might be important.. but ... ehh im too lazy.. i'll just leave it like that for now.

 

Do NOT remove that mount. My Integra didnt come with thatmount, and I've run into 2 different problems due to it.

1) The motor would jump really hard when I dropped the clutch, so the shift linkage would pop out of the chassis mount.

2) Due to the extra movement, I ended up breaking 2 bolts on the motor mount on the drivers side, which ended up breaking an axle as well.

Problems are fixed now, but I am putting that mount back on this weekend no matter what.

 

do you have polyurethne bushings for those mounts?

 

how do you get your threads tapped?? is there a kit from home depot i can buy?? and roughly how expensive is it?? thanks
