2G Prothane Motor Mounts

[turbosax2]

Is there any way you can fit the insert in? I mean, it's supposed to be a tight fit.

i cant push it in, the freakin mount is too fat!!! , see how the front one has more space for the rubber part?

 

[GST98BIG16G]

I got a new part from prothane , same thing...... Whats wrong with my motor mount? I went to Autozone and ordered a new one , i will see what comes in on friday....

 

[GST98BIG16G]

Got a new mount , still does not slide on easily like the front one
Picture :::: My stock MOUNT ON THE LEFT MUCH MORE RUBBER , NEW ONE THE RIGHT

Do you happen to know the Mitsu part number of the mount you just got?

 

[GST98BIG16G]

autozone
Still it seems too big for the ureathane inserts , but its a lot smaller compared to stock one..... I dont understand....

I have the same problem. The rear insert won't fit. I just tried it like 3 days ago. Good to hear that I'm not alone.

 

[GST98BIG16G]

Does yours look like mine? Just fat rubber part , there are some pictures check.. Post your if you can .

 

[turbosax2]

Prothane's fit in this mount fine.

 

[GST98BIG16G]

Prothane's fit in this mount fine.

Could you do a picture from the side so i could compare to mine? The same ones i did in page 1 of the thread

 

[turbosax2]

Sorry, that picture was taken while we were installing the Prothane's. The mount is in the car now.

Looks the same as yours.

 

[GST98BIG16G]

did you see my pictures? They dont really look much alike...

 

[turbosax2]

Would it help if I took some measurements of the mount for you? I should be able to get to the mount easily enough.

 

[GST98BIG16G]

THis is the rear one your talking about right?

 

[turbosax2]

Yup. Everything in the engine bay still isn't put back together so I should be able to get to the mount easy.

 

[GST98BIG16G]

Ofcourse picture would be the best but measurements are ok too . Thanks

 

[turbosax2]

Getting to the rear mount was a little harder than I thought it would be

By my best guess, the diameter of the Prothane insert is 65mm and the diameter of the metal ring inside the rear mount is 75mm. These are crude measurements because of how hard it was to get back there.

These were the best pictures I could get.

I dont really know what to do now.... The stock mount is too big and the new one seems smaller but still insert wont slide in.....
Yeah and by the way , did you use a press for the left and right ones?

When we installed the mount, we just applied a little bit of grease and slid it in. We may have had to use a rubber mallet a few times, but it wasn't that hard to insert the whole way.

(turbosax2 is my brother, by the way)

I already posted how to fix this before. Take the old mount out, and just use the inserts. To get them to fit properly, you need to cut an intercooler pipe connector in half, and wrap the inserts in it. The coupler acts as a shim, and it pushes the mounts snuggly in place. I have had a car like this for a whole season with no problems.

Guys check out my pictures , the stock mount is huge , it wont go in any way. The other one that i bought looks better , so ill try my best.

These pictures were sent to me by tenn-gsx. He asked me to post them up for him since he is not yet a proven member.

This is probably a last resort for you, but you could get a new mount from Mitsubishi. Hopefully that one would work.
