Lower Motor / Transmission Mounts

Hey Guys, can anyone give me any info on the solid rubber motor and transmission mounts from ZZP?

I think my trans mount on the passenger side is shot, and my motor mount on the drivers side got covered with grease from a bad axel shaft. So they probably should both get replaced.

You all know my track record with aftermarket parts. Anyone use the sold rubber ones from zzp?

How hard is it to replace these? Subframe has to be removed?

Thanks!

Re: Lower Motor / Transmission Mounts

PITA of a job Tim. How did you verify they need replacing? Do you see pieces of the rubber insulator coming off or the insulator split down the middle? Any weird vibrations being felt inside the cabin like at the dashboard or steering wheel. Vibrating outside mirrors?

To replace the mounts you need the engine/tranny hoist and yes the subframe is dropped or removed, if you prefer.

ahhh man. thats what I thought.

The lower motor mount looks like its in decent condition, the trans mount seems shot. The whole motor rocks a lot when I go from park to reverse and reverse to drive.

That doesn't sound good. What about the two wishbone engine mounts.

Re: Lower Motor / Transmission Mounts

Bob, guys, the motor mount is the mount on the drivers side or passenger side?
