Will fitting the lower mount make much difference over the insert?
Will it be a lot harsher in terms of noise vibration or will it not be too noticeable as am used to the vibration from the other mounts and like Red Robin actually like that noise
Dont want to fit it and then wish had not bothered, any thoughts appreciated.
....You mentioned my name,
The difference between an insert and a lower mount is like between chalk and cheese. I've had both and the lower mount results in an instant difference in traction. However, there are limits and traction is not guaranteed if you are stepping on the loud pedal too abruptly, or you have worn tyres, or an over aggressive map. The trick is to always keep everything smooooth.
The
Grrrrr! is only something you get when you have all three engine mounts and it's actually advisable to even up your engine movements with all three. Slippery Slope time again!
Any vibrations you might feel are only on tickover when cold and they disappear over time as things settle anyway - I no longer feel any vibrations through the steering wheel.
I also have the BSH dogbone but it makes absolutely no difference that I can recognise.
I hope this helps............ To spend more of your money
