engine mounts

Post by gell » Sat Aug 10, 2013 1:52 am

I am the proud owner of an SJ with a g16a 8valve fitted I need to replace the engine mounts and would like some advice on a replacement for the standard mount as the originals seem to break easily.
Is there a bolt in replacement that is a little more durable than standard.

many thanks gell

Factory spec mounts are fine with 1.6's.

I had issues with engine mounts when i put my 6.5 transfer gears in upgraded the tranny case mounts then the weak spot seamed to be the engine mounts - went through 2 lots in not much time!
In the end i fitted these babies - no problem now and I did not get any noticeable increase in vibes - bit pricey but worth the investment.
