prothane front motor mount insert wobbly

[PlanZero]

I just received a prothane insert for the front roll stopper, and it doesn't squish in snugly. The bottom lips on the insert prevent them from going in any further. I realize that there is a little space on each side of the mount normally, so are these inserts supposed to stick out 1/4" on each side? Obviously I didn't install it yet, I just wanna know if I should grind a little off the insert, or if they're supposed to be this way.

You should have got 2 spacers to go with it. Do yours fully replace the old rubber in the mount or just press into the old?

They dont sit flush and will sit out a little, at least they did with mine. I dont kike just the inserts as they really dont do much at all. The side ones are the best ones to swap and the front rears are just a waste. Or time and money. If you want it tighter then you can drill a small hole for a cable tie and loop it over to make it snug fit. Its the only option other then window weld im afraid!

Try spitting on it a little!

These are the 2 piece inserts that just fit over the rubber. I guess I could try cable tying them in place, but won't the ties just snap under pressure?

They don't sit flush with the stoppers. The screw that drives through should prevent them from falling out.

OK, so I put a 3/4" washer on each side after shaving off a little rubber from around the center hole, and I shaved a little from inside the bottom of the insert. Now it's a perfect fit. Nice and snug. Not sure why the prothane inserts don't include washers like the energy suspension kits do.

These are the ones that press into the ruber, the front and rear roll stop both suck, it's better if it's solid or fully polly rather than inserts, i have the same mounts you do and i plan to make solid mounts for it.
