My passenger mount went out and it's my second time it happens. Is there any options besides oem or going with stiff mounts? It's a daily driver car and the rest of the mounts are oem. I mite modify put poly bushings on my dog bone later on since it won't cause to much vibration. Any ideas are helpful.

Thanks guys and gals.

Yeah I have all three also but don't do all three and the BS delete (which is what I have) unless u need a portable shaker. I did some repairs to my car this weekend so my idle is better now but still to much vibration for me.

THIS!!!!! lol However, the wife likes riding the Mustang more. Can't beat a cammy V8 on solid mounts. :D


Really, there isn't a whole lot of vibration with the VF mounts. Going down the road, you can't tell the difference. You really only notice it at idle.

Just get the OEM mounts .. anything other than the poly mounts and oem mounts will break on you in a week. I just put in my vf engineering dog bone mount and there is an increase in vinbration.. I can't even imagine what all 3 stiff mounts would do for the vibrations

It's all at driver preference. I personally like to feel the engine running so I prefer the vibration from all 3 mounts. Different strokes for different folks.

My advice would be to see if there is someone near you who has all 3 VF mounts and see if he/she will take you for a ride in their car. This will give you an idea of whether you want to go that route or not.

ok, i jst did the lower rear poly upgrade. i notice a lot of vibration. i knew i would get some but REALLY?? should it be really noticeable even at low speed turns? or do i need to change something? also not sure on other mounts but as i was putting it in i had to tilt motor to get it out & in. i could do it with one hand very easily & move it like 2 or 3 inches either way. should i b able move that much?

well the mount went in easy for me. a bit of a fight. jsut shocked me how easy i could tilt motor with one hand as i lay on ground under the car. then the vibration is more than i thought it would be. so not sure if i should redo it or what.

I'd just make sure you torqued the all bolts down correctly. I hardly noticed a difference after doing just the rear mount. It wasn't until I put in the other two mounts did I start to notice the difference and the performance gain that came with it. I'm actually considering going solid on the rear dogbone mount.
