Car mountings

[kher]

anyone know how to maintain the engine mountings so that they can last longer? Y always also condemn 1? somemore damn expensive.

 

[vestax]

i stuffed in some rubber sealent so it will make the mounts harder & stronger .
some people stuff metal in or pvc pipes so that it will last longer .

 

[kher]

I tot wat i saw in the workshop is alr stuffed 1. is this wat u cal custom made? :huh:

one more way to maintain mountings from getting condemn offenly is ,stop dragging ur car..no more racing racing for u..haha..

vestax: wah..DIY har..as i know the mounting ur holding is those stock ones..there is another type of mounting which is all covered..there wont be any gap in between..if im not mistaken it is RAlli art brand..jus my 2 cents..one of them cost around RM 2++

 

[vestax]

yup stock ones , where can afford to buy branded stuff mah , anyway ralliart mounts is solid mounts or izzit still rubber ?. if its solid then hell no i`ll use it on a daily driven car .

what they're talking about is engine mounting, the ones that are used to support the engine.

 

[whatdamn]

ur tok tok sound could be ur suspension either has leaked out kau kau or basically needs to be fully serviced again. (i think)

but definitely nothing to do with engine mountings UNLESS ur car is an MR or MF(do they make these?) which i doubt la.

sounds like your suspension, (shock absorber/damper) is bottoming out.

cheapest solution:
fetch less weight at the rear.

proper solution:
change the rear shocks to a reputable brand. NEW only!
