Wevo front motor mount

[landrovered]

Just got the part from Wevo, the semi solid motor mount looks to be the business. Nicely designed, very solid and heavier in the hand than you would think looking at the pics on the website. I am going to install this weekend.

When the conversion was done on my car the rear trans mounts were upgraded but the front motor mount was not. Methinks it is a source of vibration considering that it has the 3.6 torquing on it.

I will report back how it goes and what improvements/changes I notice.

Unfortunately, I think with a performance mount (semi-solid or solid), you'll actually get MORE vibration than if you just install a new factory OEM motor mount. My old motor mount went out at around 60k miles. The new one they put in was an updated 987 part number, and smoothed out a lot of vibration issues for me.

Hope I'm wrong though, and that it works out for you. Report back when you've installed it.

I don't think "heavier in your hand" is what you want. The upgraded mount from Suncoast (I think it was listed as a Cayman S mount), is actually lighter than my original due to triangular cutouts.

There are consistant vibrations which follow the revs of the engine and then there are abberant vibrations that result from metal on metal contact from torquing of the engine as the result of a failing stock motor mount. I am concerned with the latter.

As for heavier in the hand, this is the result of the density of the plastic inserts in the mount, in this case I see it as a good thing, the poly is responsible for overall reduction of harshness, obviously it will be more harsh than stock, that is ok for me. I want as much power as possible getting to the ground, not being lost in twisting the motor in its mounts.

With 325 HP, I don't want to go through this several times to end up at the same point, why not solve the issue once and for all.

In my V8 trail truck I went to solid motor mounts after having to do a trail repair on three out of four mounts. It did increase the harshness only slightly. It is a trade off I am willing to deal with given the peace of mind of not having far worse consequences of an engine displacing itself just when you need it to be where it was designed to be.

I didn't calculate the extra hp into the equation, I agree with you. I hope my repair later in the week of the a/o separator ends the noise it has.

I am running a stock mount filled with urethane. So a solid mount basically. It does vibrate more but it feels great. I have a 3.4 so I felt the same way.. Good luck. Its worth the vibration.
