Hasport engine mounts

[neil1112]

Hi all,

It has been around 3 months since I have install my Hasport engine mounts on my DC5R, and there is a major noticeable improvement all-round. However, a few things I have noticed is that a few components in my car are now vibrating, for example my dash board and rear mirror view (mainly). This occurs only whilst driving. I know this vibration is normal, but my friend told me that over time the excessive vibration will cause the internal bolts/nuts etc to become loose. Is this correct??! Should I be worried?

Also, I read on a forums that these vibrations will eventually stop. Is this true?

Thanks in advance.

they dont stop. you just get used to it.

Welcome to the world of Hasport

If you have the 60a grade bushing inserts for your hasport, they will wear down and the vibration will be a lot less over time.

As for the rattling and unusual loose interior sounds, they stay. Unless you attempt to fix them.

To minimize the buzzing and loose trim sound. Make sure your interior is fully secured down with all the screws, bolts and clips.

Put some loctite on them screws and bolts.

with hard sussy & mounts, I've found the dash plastic mounting points have cracked over time.

you can't have the best of both worlds.

Not looking forward to this! ><

I don't put anything in my glove box anymore because i cannot stand the rattle.. Haha.
If you really do get sick of it, there are softer alternatives to Hasport.. Such as ESP.

Would a torque damper be beneficial?

I've had one, mild benefit, vibrates the car/fulfils it's purpose a bit, but imo, more blingy.

engine damper would be better for reducing the load on the stock mounts, but all these cheapy ebay jobs are just filled with diff oil and dodgy seals

the one I had wasn't oil filled, took it apart and inside was plastic filled.......

was years ago, can't remember the exact details.....

Gas only i'd say - bump up the gas pressure to try and force the engine into not moving

it was as if you tightened the piston against the plastic inner and the plastic inner would absorb the vibrations.

very confusion...i don't even know anymore...

the silver ring @ the top of the damper could be adjusted in and out to get the level of damping you required.

I took it out and I saw solid white plastic inside.

I've heard there's engine mounts that can be adjusted from soft to hard I thinks it's called hydro dynamic mounts lol

A lot of new cars including some Honda have fluid filled mounts. If I'm not wrong the latest accord has fluid filled rear suspension mounts

To op - once the has ports have softened up its too late. The whole interior is ****ed already. Only way around it is to pull apart and retighgten with loctite where applicable...
