So, my tuner apparently busted the engine mount when he took it out for a drive in between dyno tuning which is all well and fine, but they are brand spankin new mounts. So my question is how the hell do they bust that fast?

The car is on stock suspension if that has anything to do with weight transfer, but with an all motor EM1 on stock, you really can't break the tires past 2nd. Just confused as I owned a gsr hatch that would chirp in 4th gear and I never had a busted engine mount unless it was busted before I put it in.

Oh and I know its busted from the evident fluid that has since dried on my hood and area around the mount as well as a tear in the boot. However, there is no vibration or noises from the mount/suspension.

 

Just realized I meant "Busted". lol

No help though? I assume its safe to drive on at the moment if I feel no affects...?

 

Let me guess driver side? Your old GSR hatch was an EG? OEM EK/EM mounts suck that's well documented. Get hardrace replacement if you want OEM type or if you can handle the vibration then Hasport FTW!

 

Thanks! And yes, drivers side mount. Are they known to give out on the ek/em's?
