Will the urethane front mount cause my stock rear mount to fail?

I have the R-R front inserts. Anyone tried the Front and Rear inserts? What diff. in vibration?

Now, understand, that I was doing some drag racing and hard launches on a stage 3 clutc at the time....so if you don't plan on flogging it you should be fine. If you notice it starting to get loose again it's probably your rear mount going.

^ hmm... forget your medicine?

Sorry. I was running with 3 hours of sleep at the time of this post.

Again, excuse me for sounding like a dumbass because of a lack of sleep, but are you sure it was the front mount inserts that caused your rear mount to fail. It seems to me that just one stiffer mount (front or rear) would take the strain off the other mount (less movement in either direction). Maybe your rear mount was ready to fail anyway?

^no problem, we all have our dayz!

Think of it as a balanced system. Less travel on one part still puts just as much stress + additonal stress from the restricted travel on the other...

Each mount controls movement in a different axis. The front and rear in a translational installation (sideways motor) need both.

I miss my Focus. It just had one side to side mount.

mattsstang87 November-1st-2005 07:28 AM

Cn you buy new rear mounts for cheap? (If it does break?)

Jackelope November-1st-2005 08:08 AM

I paid ~ $170 for my front/rear mounts (AWR)

mattsstang87 November-1st-2005 10:49 AM

I was talking about the stock mount.

Jackelope November-1st-2005 11:38 AM
