Folks, I´ve just finished rebuilding completely the rear beam and font axle, have new clutch, and I installed the powerflex lower engine mount, the common one, guess theres a black series that is even stiffer.Thing is, now at idle, vibrations are crazy! Had little vibrations before, but now its a bit too much for me. Is it like that? The engine mount does that? Or maybe is something else contribuiting to the vibrations? Problem is at idel, parked is more noticeable |

That means it needs time to settle down. and eventually lower down the vibrations to a acceptable level? |

Them powerflex mounts are really not a good mod and generally split in time, better off with a new oe one if u don't like the vibrations, or a baker bm/ vibratachnics mount if u want uprated.________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

Well, found that vibra-technics at Deamon Tweaks for £35 delivered to Uruguay. Guess I`ll try it, thats better than the Powerflex right? Also same "vibrations level"? I wont it for fast road use, and eventually a track day |

cully wrote: Oh good spot. Has anyone noticed a significant increase in vibration with one of these over a standard mount? I'm guessing my nearly 18 year old one is past its best. This one also says they will ship anywhere in the world and to contact them for a shipping quote if your location is not on the list by the way. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |
