Well earlier today I decided I was gonna install my Energy Suspension Motor Mounts. So I went on with the process and started tearing everything apart! I got the Front Motor Mount and Drivers Side Motor Mount done and looking good! Here comes the problem and fun. We werent paying attention so we thought the last Motor Mount was on the passengers side of the car where my stiffy hooks up to. So we took off the Strut Bar and Stiffy and started fighting with getting off this motor mount. Eventually after a while we ripped it out and realized that was the wrong one. We never noticed the last one was in the rear under the subframe and spipe. So then we went to put the stupid passengers side motor mount in and in the process somehow we crossthreaded the bolt closest to the firewall that holds the motor mount in place. So now im only driving with 2 bolts holding in that motor mount. I was so aggravated over the situation I never got to tackle the rear one! Luckily I think the stiffy on that side helps the fact im missing a bolt over there, keeps in snug anways. I took it out for a test drive and even with only 2 of the 3 motor mounts in and only 2 bolts on the passengers side motor mount there wasnt that much more vibration, no clunks and feels good in 1st and 2nd. Im curious to why the TC has 4 motor mounts and they only give us 3 motor mount inserts! Im tired!

 

I think the passenger motor mount doesn't affect enough to justify replacing it. 3 is plenty. I love my mounts. Keeps the engine in one spot at all times.

 

Im just hoping that with only 2 bolts to secure the motor mount instead of 3 on the passenger side it will still be secure enough along with the stiffy on that side!!!

 

The passenger side mount is only a pivot point, it doesn't not take any forward/rearward stress like all the others so it does not need to be replaced. Now that you have your mounts in, take off the ETD. Those things are so annoying unless you just want car show bling. FYI, the rear motor mount does suck a little getting to it with lowering the sub-frame and all.

 

So do you think ill be fine only having those 2 bolts holding the mount down instead of 3 on the passenger side mount!!! My friends gonna buy a tapper kit and were gonna fix it eventually, but im just curious do you think its something I need to worry about right this second or should i be fine!

 

Why the hell did I have to crossthread that damn bolt
