Turned out much in the same way I'd expect it to.

 

stupid stupid idea

 

I ordered them from www.mazdatrix.com all by myself!! I do not think that my DYI fix will end up with the same results as his did.

 

mine are solid alluminum. they are stiff...

 

shoe goo are you ******* for real????

 

It's actually not just shoe goo... there are plastic inserts in the gaps you can't see, the shoe goo is filler.

The photo he took is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the plastic inserts are still captive and doing their thing.

Filling the empty gaps in the bushing with something is going to have a impact, no matter what... but I know, alot of you guys on this forum have trouble accepting anything that didnt cost a paycheck

Wether it is noticable? I dunno, maybe next time I have my rear end apart I'll give it a go.

 

If differential mounts cost you a paycheck it is time to look into a new line of work!!lol

 

I agree, it was a hyperbole.

At mazdatrix the rear mounts are $85/each, for blocks of rubber....

On the GRM forum there are a number of references to this method as a "trick" for stiffening miata and rx7 diff mounts, sounds like it works.

 

i did something similar with a broken engine mount on my 1st gen, but i used urethane instead of shoe glue.. filled in the entire mount and let it dry overnight. stuck it in next day and it's still holding up.. though the car needs a motor..
