Motor Mounts?

[LittleGSEclipse]

Whats up guys.
I need to know if I had a bad motor mount or transmission mount, could I buy just the rubber bushing or do I have to purchase the whole mount?

whole mount

can the actuall metal on the mount break, or is it just the rubber insert. what are the steps in replacing motor mounts on the 4g63 motor, i bought the polyurethane mounts for my car.

hey dude i bought the prothane motor mounts but it doesnt come with any metal washers...what do i do to install the inserts into the front motor mount?
thanks

Just stick em on there and put it back together. If you can put gas in the car, you can do the front insert. Some kits dont use washers. I have the extra hard old skool prothanes, no washers.

but wont they move around alot?
i thought that something else would need to go in them since they do seem kind of small and seem lke the mounts dont fit flush into the motor mount.

[kjewer1]

It works, trust me If the old mounts fit, and these ones dont sit flush, they should be even tighter fit. Right? Give it a shot, I'll bet its good. I need to lube mine up to assemble the front mount, no washer needed.

cool dude thanks a lot. i just think i found the solution. the prothane motor mounts insert into the rubber. right?

[kjewer1]

Yes, they are molded in a shape that will fill the gaps in the stock rubber mounts.
