So after the long cold blizzard her in colorado springs i went to my cousins and replaced my blown oem mount with my new tsw mount. Went fairly well but after all the advice i gotten on the directions from tsw im still getting a vibration. is this okay if its not bad vibration but just faint? please is you have any advice let me know. Thank you!

The mess :/


old


New

 

The vibration is normal (sort of a high speed buzz for lack of a better description), your just now feeling more of the engines natural vibration that was hidden by the fluid mount.

 

Thank you! makes me less worried lol

 

Actually I like it, I also have all of the Ireland Lower mounts, I like to feel the engine as well as hear it.

You might also find what I like to call the engines "sweet spot" (mines about 3200rpm), it's that certain rpm point where the engine is really smooth and the most balanced.

 

Does the TSW mount interfere with the Strut Tower Defenders? I need to replace my slowly leaking mount (at 60k) and want to be sure of the strut to mount stabilizer (bone) not raising hell with my defender plates... Anybody, Bueller, Anybody...

 

Not at all (05 is all I'm familuar with) , it only interferes with the mounting of an engine dampner, wich of course you won't need because of the mount.

 

Thanks. Does anybody have a photo of the TSW motor mount installed?

 

Here's mine, and yes I am still using my engine dampner, but It really isn't doing anything, I had to modify the bracket to keep it, I just liked the way it looks.

 

Thanks for the explanation and the photo.

 

When I put mine in I noticed it a ton at first but over time I have both gotten used to it and it settled in a lot. It still makes the sunroof rattle more though, and I do have something rattling in the dash area when it's cold out and something in the passenger side door. I love the feedback though, and not having the engine jerk around on bumps. Plus nothing to let nasty goo leak all over your engine bay

 

Everybody talks about no more leaks and never having to replace it again, which are great plus's but as far as the vibrations go there is something people tend to forget about, the added vibration is a trade off for torque, the more solid the mount=the more torque to the ground, and not lost in the movement of the engine.

 

Unfortunately that just makes the torque steer worse
