So lately the car has been driving quite different. I can definitely tell that I've got a mount or more than one on its way out. Engine even if warm is shaking quite enough at idle as well as gear engagement isn't the greatest either.

Before I start getting under the car and lookin at the dogbone and the other mounts, I was wondering what exactly I'm looking for at the dogbone mount? If I held the brake, put in gear and started to give it some gas, what mount does that indicate?

Also, given that they are all gone or some of them, I would just replace them all and do all the work at once and be done with it. I was looking at CFM mounts, does anyone have just the street mounts? Are they a lot better than if I went to Partsource and got their replacement brand? I would love something in between race and the stock oem feel.

What do you guys suggest and thanks in advance!

I have been in Hardk0re's old zx3 and on idle with all 3 VF poly mounts the car shook like crazy

This is one mount to look for http://focus.c-f-m.com/index.asp?PageActio...ROD&ProdID=1191 , well , yours might not look exactly like that and it's located underneath the car , where the tranny bolts on the engine . It links the powertrain to the lower subframe .

I have had a few in the car and none of them like it lol. But the mount is needed.

[shadowzx3]

now the question is do I buy the dogbone mount with the race bushings or the street ones? Are the street bushings stiffer than the stock bushings in the stock dogbone?

Thanks everyone for their input.

only because it gives some vibes to their muffin... practically give em an orgasm in the back seat if its loud enough

[shadowzx3]

since we all got a little carried away... one last question...

Do I buy the dogbone mount with the race bushings or the street ones? Are the street bushings stiffer than the stock bushings in the stock dogbone?

CFM has me all confused :(

[Scorcher000]

I got the Mac performance one on my car and it is only rough at 1500rpm -2000rpm. You will really just get use to it. Just get one that will fit your driving and your car.

[GFXjamie]

honestly, in my car its only vibrating me at like 700 rpm, if u have a tuner, just up the idle to 850 and ur good. i got a vf engineering one off FS

I looked at the CFM mount, for 2008+ it says for Manual transmission only. I heard these were useless for ATX?

[Scorcher000]

Not at all. My stocker flexed sooooo far that it opened up my header and flex pipe connection. Well worth it and easier to put the power down.

[tetra]

Go to CFM and look at the mount. Select 2008 and it says (For 5 speed only) :(
There's gotta be a reason..

[ZX3_2NV]

I don't know how you guys are complaing about vibrations I have a SOLID custom mount in the rear, Stiff poly on the passenger side and a steeda tranny mount and it's not that bad at all. For street use I would suggest the Steeda Tranny and passnger side but for the rear Maybe try CFM Street or VF because I snapped 2 steeda dog bones.

[GFXjamie]

are u feeling alright buddy?? the rear mount is the tranny mount lol

[Flofocus]

Make your own. :ph34r:

the rear mount connect to i believe the back side of the tranny and reduces the rock of the engine, where as i always considered the drivers side mount, just the drivers side mount lol. if im wrong then meh ill just laugh about it later
