motor mounts

Post by 91White-T »

Well, after noticing some definite shaking, I took a look underneath today, and both motor mounts are destroyed. Are those the only two, and how hard is it to change em? Also, would I be better off getting upgraded ones from somewhere (Not many of the stores around here seem to have em)

Just replaced mine with ones from an 02 wrx.

I found the driver's side to be much more difficult than the passenger side (yeah, only two mounts on the engine, not including the rod up top).

I'm already planning to get the STI mounts, and it's probably worth it for you to go ahead and get them.

Found STi mounts for 110$ from subarustore.com, seems like a pretty good deal.

Oh hey, does anybody have a torque spec for the mount bolts? I'm not seeing it in my haynes. I know it's important sometimes.

Just tighten them down as much as your muscles will allow you too. Those bolts are beefy, it'd be pretty hard to break them...

Not too good of an idead on the bolts that go into the block, it's aluminum and you could very well damage it.

I just tightened them down reasonably well.
