EP3 Type R

are the mounts that bad??

I would think if you abuse your car then I'm not surprising that the mounts are dying.

But not for normal driving right?? Otherwise, it's worse than I would had thought.

Perry, fair enough then. You're off the hook this time!..LOL :D

i do pull it but not that often to stuff up like this, i did some research and found stock mounts = shit, alot of others have the same problem with mounts other then me

I think one or more people on this thread somewhere has bought mugen/spoon mounts. I wonder if they are proven to be better.

Its normal wear and tear for the mounts but I've heard if they get abused over time they will break.

how to know if they're broken?

thanks

alot of vibration, creaking when u turn ur steering wheel cause the mounts arent stiff anymore to hold the motor down properly, when ever i rev more then 5k i shift then i get a knock on the firewall due to the motor hitting it cause the mounts

im sure others have issue that are different

oh and the hydrolic mount seal actually rips or tears and oil squirts everywhere

does sound like a pretty sight. i guess my mounts are still holding up then.

while we're on the topic of mounts - has anyone had a mount break on a FL model?

dont forget u can damage your headers with soft/broken shi77y mounts...
