Top one looks like jbarone. A lot of the MS3 guys swear by him, but as an individual hes an @$$hole. I know from personal experience from having my MS3, he was just disrespectful and highly unprofessional to those whenever they had a criticism of his work.
Let me know if you guys have any questions. The mount fits the 12' focus well but the nut and bolt we supply currently need swapped out for a 14mm x 1.25 of equivalent length.
feta_mgp,
Sorry if I've rubbed you the wrong way. You are correct, sometimes I take criticism too personally. I'll work on it.
So after my rear motor mount needed to be replaced... Apparently from all the harsh driving conditions.. I decided to see if I can find poly or dura mounts for the rear mount.
1 reason is the car has terrible wheel hop when the tires break free.
2 Im tired of feeling the motor slam back and forth it really takes away from the DCT's ability to give a good amount of power to the wheels at all times.
3 I have a feeling this will make the DCT much more responsive.
Its For a Mazda 3 but this is the only rear motor mount I can find that looks similiar to ours. Single bolt through the subframe side and another through the engine side.
04-2012 mazda mzr/duratecs use this mount. Never a focus till now... doesnt suprise me since this is a shared chassis and suspension for the past 12 years...
Hummmmm.... I wonder if Mazdaspeed or regular 3 urethane inserts will work? I don't want a full on urethane mount, but inserts would e nice. Though if I could get a low durometer version of he mount above, I would go that route.
Check the cpe mount I have that on my ms3 I like it aot hated it at first because of vibrations felt like a solid mount but after 2 months I don't even here it anymore
Ofcourse I had this done first thing in the morning I just got home to post the news. ZERO engine Movement. Very good results... Although it doesnt bother me there is vibration from this jerky shaky engine at 1000-2000 rpm.
Did you have clunk before? Did this effect it at all if you did?
