I have a 92 DA with a broken driver's side motor mount. does anyone know if I get the ES motor mount inserts, would it fix the problem?

thanks in advance

 

It depends on what's broken on the motor mount. If it's just the ruber, then yes, an ES motor mount insert will repair it.

 

ok thanks. I will be getting the inserts today

 

the inserts suck. i just put them in my 92 ls. they fit like crap and didnt provide much additional stiffness. i will be getting full aftermarket mounts very shortly.

 

if you broke a mount, then you need a mount, inserts don't fix broken metal... but if your looking for inserts i put prothane polyurethane inserts on my teg and they fit great and are well worth the money.

 

when someone says "broken mount" it usually refers to the original rubber being torn, which the inserts will fix. My rear mount and both front torque mounts were all torn completely on my GS-R, and have all been replaced with new OEM mounts.

I tried the ES mounts in the front torque mounts only, and it made the car vibrate like all hell at idle. I took them out and replaced with new OEM and it's so much nicer now.

 

the metal is not broken, but the rubber is. thanks for the replies

 

I have front and rear ES inserts on my RS, it vibrates alittle bit, but its not terribly bad.

in my opinion if you are planning on eliminating wheel hop, dont waste your time with inserts, as soon as you start to make some power they will hop again. just buy some race mounts and call it a day

 

im just trying to not make my whole car vibrate. im not looking to race or anything. im just trying to get the rubber mount fixed without having to spend $100 for an OEM one.

 

Inserts will def. be your cheapest route, then, but just be aware that you may get more vibration in the cabin than before. The rear mount and front lower torque mounts are the most sensitive to transmitting vibration, though, since those control the engine's fore/aft movement. I'm not sure how much vibration you'll get if you use inserts in one or both of the side mounts.

 

If you wanted to go the cheep way u can use window urethane and use a calking gun. It works ok, but I wouldn't do this unless i was realy hard up for cash.

 

i got the local parts store (advance auto parts) to match a deal i found online for $20 for the set. ive already ordered those. they come in friday so ill let you guys know what i think...then the cars gonna be sold hopefully

 

the inserts sucked! they didnt fit at all! i just found some new OEM ones on ebay for like $40. i went with those and installed them and they work just fine. sold the car. thanks for all your help

 

the inserts only fit OEM mounts and only the two axle mounts and the rear motor mount. the trans mount and side motor mount do not get one. aftermarket cheapo mounts never quite fit right with the energy inserts
