Passenger side installed


It's basically a ring sandwiched between two urethane bushings with a through-bolt holding everything together; works similar to body mounts (no metal to metal contact).

Here's some of the aspects:

  • Lighter than a stock assembly, although it is made from mild steel.

  • Retains some vibration damping, somewhat tunable by tightening the bolt.

  • Allows more clearance for 3" turbo inlets, this is more important on the driver side.

  • Water-jet cut plate 3/16" thick.

  • ARP stainless steel hardware.

  • Fully TIG welded on a jig.

  • No more torn OE motor mounts that cost $90 each. These bushings will cost less than $10 per side, although I can't see any reason that they would ever need to be replaced.

I think I can get these out the door for less than $250/pair, all hardware included. I would prefer to do some sort of a group buy of 10 or more people, so if you're interested drop me an email.
