Boomba's having a sale on their motor mounts.

The front was very easy, but the rear was the worst because of how tight the area was.
Wobble extensions,universal joints, flexible joint ratchets, and flexhead ratchets were a huge help.

I had to remove the Intake's air box to get better access from the top.

For step 8, I used a hydraulic jack to push up the engine a bit so the main bolt could slide out.

I got to step 13 and and my progress stopped. The instructions say to move the motor mount out of the way to access the top 17mm motor mount bracket bolt, but I couldn't get agood angle to put my power behind it with the universal joint.
Spent 3+ hours attempting to remove that top bolt.

I used a Dremel tool to cut the rear motor mount in half.

During step 21, I had to use the hydraulic jack again to get the motor mount and the bracket to line up I could slid the bolt through both with out and hassle.

i did those a couple months ago and yeah that rear mount is a PITA....

curious how much vibration/resonance are you getting in the lower rpms?

personally the dash shakes pretty good accelerating from a dead stop and i get a weird resonace/vibration around 3000rpm

kind of wish boomba used a softer urethane... even though theres barely any to begin with haha

curious, why are you guys changing the mounts? are they shot already>?

The 1st 4 days were the worst.
After the 5th day, everything started to settle down.
A week + after everything is back to normal
The only extra vibration is between 1400-1500 RPMs.
To keep the motor stable under acceleration to put the power down.
The card feels great with polyurethane.

I got the Boomba's because the rear motor could be disassembled for easier installation and it was on sale.
