hi,
i just removed the mounts and one has broken rubber. i did not searched the internet yet. can anyone suggest something? go for a stock? install a polyuretane? i have my car jacked and i must decide it fast.
can anyone help?
the polyurethanes are transmitind any noise?
are louder ?
can i turn a polurethane bar on a lathe or it is a diferent materia?
the alu and steel mounts are intercheangeble?i think the alu is a bit shorter.
thanks

 

you can use 2 1/2 inch hockey pucks with a stong grade bolt running through them. its easier if you have two steel mounts but can be done with that aluminum one too.

There are many vendors that sell poly mounts worth buying that will not transmit vibration.

 

I'm a fan of the stock mounts. If you want the extra stiffness of the drivetrain without the vibration, run stock motor mounts with an engine torque brace. There's a thread that was just bumped up about Garfinkle's engine torque brace, it's an excellent design and will serve you well if you go that route.

For stock motor mounts, you can simply get them through Ray at Malloy Mazda.

You can drive with broken motor mounts for a LONG time with no ill effects. So, if you need to get back on the road pronto, just run on the existing mounts. New mounts will stiffen the drivetrain up and make the car nicer to drive, of course.

The original FD's had one aluminum and one cast iron motor mount, later they were changed to all cast iron. The aftermarket mounts only work on the cast iron arms since the mount is "glued" to the aluminum arm and the cast iron ones are bolted on.

hi ,
thanks for the reply.
the aluminium mount has broken ruber so i cannot use it again. parhaps i could find a stock steel one and use it but is it intercheangeable? i think that one of them is shorter. i am not sure. the car is an 93.
these polyurethane mounts are vibrating any? can you suggest one?
thanks!!

A quick search will give you many options.

 

hi Dale,
will it be ok if i find a steel passenger side mount and put it in place of the drivers aluminium one?
i heard that they are intercheangeble but also heard that the alu mount has a nub that pushes the pan at some point .the steel mount does not have it. will i have oil leak? should i search for a mazdas steel drivers side?
thanks!

 

My motor mounts are signed by wayne gretzkey and bret hull lol

 

hi
i was able to find another passengers steel mount.
will it be ok if i use the steel passenger side mount a in place of the drivers aluminium one?
it would be much quiker since i have my engine hang and if i order some poly mounts i would have significant delay.
thanks
