So I have a 93 LX car has edelbrock heads, cobra intake, scorpion roller rockers, stock cam, stock 19LB injectors, bbk equal length headers, bbk cold air intake and pro m air meter and has been Dyno tuned fox also has subframe connectors. Car runs great daily driver and I put a ton of miles on car yearly.
I have read and done so much research on poly motor mounts, rubber anchor motor mounts, poly transmission mounts, rubber transmission mounts but have not come to any definite info on any of these issues.
currently I still have the OEM rubber motor mounts but not cracked yet, and debating on changing to new I’m sure motor mounts are tired now after 26 years. But also have heard Anchor brand mounts are terrible as well so no help there.
Now transmission mounts are Energy suspension as are crossmember mounts as well all poly car runs great but I can feel small faint vibration from motor especially when motor revs especially when in neutral. But when running not much vibrations seems to run better at speeds of over 85MPH.
It I also read don’t mix poly and rubber , or either go all poly and deal with small vibrations or go all rubber but beware anchor mounts are junk!! And if you mismatch do rubber trans mounts and use poly motor mounts or vise versa.
Again my car is my daily driver I live in Maricopa county Az but drive my car to San Diego Ca twice a month she is very well kept and clean I get good gas mileage and she’s not abused at all but would like to hear everyone’s opinion on this subject who has gone thru this issue. I am aware I am driving a rattle can that makes all kinds of noise going thru or driving thru roads that are a bit rough or neglected but would like to go without trial and error periods.
My car also has a fairy new T5 I bought new from Summit and an aluminum driveshaft bought in 2017, with clutch still in good shape with great foot pedal feedback. Now axle is a complete different story after 2 years of still looking still looking for someone honest to rebuild my rear axle. I have bought all new parts for axle minus rim and pinion but seems like here in Mesa, Phoenix, Gilbert, Chandler area shops are waaaaaaaaay expensive or too dirty, or seems they say they do axles but when I visit shop they have no axle work going on and not risking paying $1400 in labor for no precise axle work or maybe guy with no experience.
But if any of you have experience with mounts please give me honest opinions what are pros and cons!
Please no solid mount opinions again this is my daily driver!
Again I don’t race my Calypso Green 1993 she is daily driver and sees no track use as well.
Thanks everyone hope to hear opinions soon.
