Re: Engine Damper Question
only cars I've ever seen these in are the J body convertibles
I'd get the solid adjustable bobble bracket link for behind the diff first
I have a set of those mounts with the dampers I saved back in the mid 90's
they were to stiff to compress by hand back then but have softened up some sitting for 20 odd years
that said I'd use them new again if I had the use for them , with the solid bobble bracket to make the effort really worth while... and hard rubber or poly engine mounts
Re: Engine Damper Question
Personally, I think it very much depends on what you want out of the car. If you're going to just drive it and enjoy it at shows, etc. I would leave it be. I don't think they do all that much for engine rotation, and with good front, and side mounts, I think they're largely unnecessary. I have one on my wife's Daytona, and I couldn't tell you that it has made a difference in the least.
Re: Engine Damper Question
Thanks Cordes. That was my thought as well. I'm thinking if the mounts are bad and the shock is good, it might help a little. But with all of the mounts new, I have a hard time believing I would notice anything for my $100+.
Re: Engine Damper Question
pretty much there to dampen engine vibes translating into the chassis being that they're only on verts. The 90+ verts did away with them but they have a bad --- passenger motor mount that allows zero engine movement rotationally. It's the mount to get if you have a 90+ TD.

Are you talking about the larger passenger side barn shaped mount? I didn't realize it helped to limit rotation if that's the case.
Re: Engine Damper Question
These mounts are also used on the TC.

barn shaped? Not sure, but it only came on the 90+ verts and looks different than the regular 90+ mounts. The regular mounts are a wet noodle that you can twist by hand. The vert mount is almost like having a solid bobble strut but without any vibration issues.

Thank you for that clarification. I'll have to look more closely at the 90+ vert mounts the next time I see one.
