does sewell carry these?
about how much do they go for.
is there a diy sticky

 

Is they're a DIY to change the motor mount? If not, does anyone have pics while installed to give us an idea.

 

I dont recall ever seeing a useful DIY on engine mount.

Changing the engine mount on the GS4 requires lifting the engine up by a few inches, otherwise it's impossible to get the mounts out.

 

i have recently decided to start making my car more comfortable. meaning getting rid of all the car vibrations (alignment, wheel balance), engine vibrations (motor mount), and wind noises.

before i thought my motor was vibrating at idle because of my intake on my gs400, but after this thread... it makes sense that the motor mount are bad. i can't wait to get this done. maybe replacing the motor mount will even fix some of the popular 60mph vibration which a lot of ppl have.

AWESOME DISCOVERY!!

 

Engine mount wont fix the 60mph vibration, I can tell you that. But it does make your idle brand new again. I can't really feel anything at the stoplight. A/C engages without feeling the clunk, and no vibration through the steering wheel at idle.

The transmission mount maybe probably have some affect on your ride, especially if you're driving on a not so smooth surface. Our transmission mount is very tired by now. If you ever get a chance to look at the mount, you'll see that mounts have collapsed to the point where you have metal to metal contact. As you drive over the bumpy road, the metal will hit each other and cause weird vibration and clunks. It'll make more sense when you look at the mount. Also, having a new tranny mount puts less stress on the engine mounts.


BTW, I replaced my mounts a year ago, but I just replaced my tranny mount this morning. It took me a whoopin 10 minutes from the moment I jacked up my car to the time I let it back down

 

Damn Gsteg. You should have taken a few pics of the process. Some of us are on a need for a DIY on these mounts. If by the time I get them no one has posted one I will figure it out and take some shots.

If some one beats me to it please post them

 

I didn't take pictures because I didn't think anyone would need them. Its almost self explanatory when you look under the tranny. It's as easy as removing a few bolts/nuts. As long as the jack is under the transmission, then you should be good

 

wow, talk about thread from the dead.

strut tower brace should be installed with the car raised so the uppermounts are relieved of any stress and balanced out. If it's an adjustable, adjust it, then lower it so it'll have equal load on each uppermount.

 

Is there a write up on this! It seems like people know how to put them but there is no one that would put it on paper.

 

thanks I checked on sewell and I get all 3 of them for 274.83

 

wow, what a great discovery, so this will fix the problem of the whole car jittering while im at a stop
other than lifting the engine up, is the change a hard job, what is the estimated time of completion, hahaha, just curious

Im gonna pick a set up from sewell as well

 

I don't think you can DIY lifting up your engine for the normal person.

Might have to get a shop to do it.

 

If you own a good jack or like me a engine lift, Yes it could be a DIY job. I have not yet done it but I will see if I can take some notes and pics and post them.
