I have blown out engine and trans mounts. Nasty movement, shakes, and vibration especially shifting during "spirited" driving.
I have owned several mitsu's and mounts are a constant problem. My 01 is just a 4 cyl and ends up blowing out the front and rear mounts quick. On this car, I want to change them with poly and never look back. My question is on which kit to go with (the most complete kit), and where the best price to get it is.
I am a tech and have access to the shop on my days off. I will be cutting the oem inserts out of the mounts and pressing in the poly one's.
My issue with the kits I am seeing is that they come with some real inserts (looks like for the trans and upper front engine mounts), and some of the stupid fake ones that install over the ends of the oem mount inserts on the lower front/rear mounts. I want real full insets for all 4 mounts.
Here are example of what I'm seeing available: Notice part of the kit, or all of it, are designed to fit over the stock mounts? looks like bs to me.
