broken engine mount

[FR33K]

quick question... will polyurethane mount inserts fix my broken rear engine mount..

also, whats a temporary fix ? i heard you can fill it with something that dries hard... anyone know exactly what ??

im sick of the knocking sound !!!

those inserts such as energy suspension ones would probably 'fix' the torque mounts as it pretty much fills it, the rear mount would probably be okay as long as the actual bracket isn't broken and only the rubber but theres nothing really to hold the inserts together at the rear

also the stuff you're thinking about is sikaflex 252 or something similar :) i've used the sikaflex method and it works good

ES inserts you can get from yonas i believe and sikaflex is available from bunnings, just make sure you get the black stuff and not the white one ;)

Yes this is a common thing on the DA9's with teh rear mounts, I got energy mounts in mine and it seemed to have fixed my issue i have no problems with it at all. but make sure to keep the original still inside it so it is completely full.

i had some in my old LS.. did a pretty good job.. although it was a bit hard to take a pic of the rear one..

mount inserts simply fill the exact void that normal mounts do NOT fill.

IE the gaps inbetween

Makes it similar to a solid mount.
I would avoid using actual broken mounts , possible the insert can fall out of place...just get a 2nd hand mount and use the insert on that instead.

just upgrade to aftermarket mounts.... i.e hasport or innovative.

please replace the zip ties used with the inserts with bolt/washer/nut combo FTW,
depending how much time/money you have.
for the quicker fix i'd get the inserts. if you have time fill them up and wait upto a week for full cure. if you have cash to throw away and a love for vibration go for solid mounts.
