i'm looking for new motor mounts. What should I buy and where?

I have looked around and it seems I can only find inserts. Is this all I need is inserts? or do I need a whole motor mount?

Please help.

thanks.
 
The only one that is really an insert is the front motor mount. the rest you have to go to a shop and have the rubber and a ring pressed out, and you put the new motor mount in :thumb:

Purchase yourself a set of Prothane motor mounts. They are basically chunks of hard rubber. You WILL need to press em out just like the previous post states, but its sssoooo worth it when you get em done. You will have NO wheel hop if you're fwd. The engine will NOT flex either. But the car will vibrate alot more!! :thumb: :talon: You can pick up a set from www.machv.com for $100 :thumb:
 
Go with a set of Prothanes like homeboy above suggested. It's worth it. They reduce wheel hop and saves you from having to buy motor mounts in the future. Hopefully your front and back mounts are not torn so that the inserts work properly. I paid like $76 for the set back when.

You dont nessacerily have to get them pressed out. For anyone that doesnt have access to a hyd. press, there's another way. All you need is a drill w/ a 1/2" bit and a saws-all w/ a new metal blade. Just drill the rubber out to get the center out. Then make one cut throught the inner metal ring w/ the saws-all. Then use a screw driver and pry it out. I just did mine last week and it only took me about 20 min each.....

Exactly how I did it. :thumb:
 
so do i assume that the energy susp. motor mount inserts aren't as good, cause everybody talks about the prothane....i figured they were the same.

energy suspension only has inserts for front and rear. prothane is for all four mounts.
