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

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

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.

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?

Mattss

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.
