New member here, I picked up a 1990 Plymouth Laser RS 2.0 FWD non-turbo MT but it had extremely worn motor mounts, I posted before/after pictures below. You can really see how deformed the old ones were.
Here's what I purchased:
Front - Anchor 8103
Passenger - Anchor 8686
Rear - Anchor 8104
Driver - Prothane 13-503
I have cross-checked this with my '90-94 Eagle Talon catalog' and these all seem like the correct parts. However, in first gear I still have vibrations about 25% the intensity as before. During installation, all of the pieces didn't fit together perfectly, I had to use longer bolts on the driver's side to keep it aligned while I did the other three mounts. At the end I force-tightened everything down. Unfortunately my front motor mount isn't centered and I think the remaining vibrations are because the front motor mount is rubbing on the side.
Has anybody experienced anything similar? Does anything look blatantly wrong from my pictures? Should I put more miles on them? I can take more pictures during the day but the passenger/rear motor mounts look centered. My assumption is that as the old motor mounts deteriorated, things got bent. I could try going poly in the front (if I can even get it bolted down) but I really don't want the extra vibrations - I only did the driver's side poly because it was significantly cheaper. Thanks in advance.
