AWR motor mount

[boost2dms6]

Should I go with the softer or stiffer mount?

70 soft
88 stiff

 

[ms6acton]

most people will suggest going with the 88. but i had the 88 and it caused way too many vibes for me. the entire car shook when i was accelerating between 900 - 1500 rpm. u could hear the shaking outside of the car too. i dont kno if i got a faulty mount or something but i had to sell it.

but like i said most people on here are running the 88 awr. just letting u kno what happened with mine.

I have the 70. Vibes are only noticeable when at low idle but still a significant improvement over stock.

 

[tunersteve]

88 is the way to go. 70 will be more forgiving, but in most cases you won't feel the vibes. My car is bad with the A/C on at idle, but other than that it doesn't even phase me.

 

[ms6acton]

everyone says that they only get a little vibes when the ac is on. from what ive heard get the 88.

they MUST have been something wrong with mine

 

[Mistersix]

which mount you talkin bout here. they make all three, and i have two of em.
dogbone, passengerside, or tranny?

 

[Marauder.45]

How do you know if you have the 70 or 88?

 

[Mistersix]

uh, dunno. other than when you buy it and you specify which you want.

maybe color of the bushing?

 

[USAFVMI08]

Well, when you receive it in the box, it has a handwritten sticker on the side that says "70."


As far as I know that might be the only way other than bushing color or actually feeling the material.

 

[Marauder.45]

I got mine from a part out, so I have no idea.

 

[bova80]

i have the 88 durometer awr rear mount and its the way to go.

 

[USAFVMI08]

Ah okay. Well, I know that the 70 has red bushings. Does the 88 have ones that are different color? (asking that question to everyone)

 

[ms6acton]

also red

 

[Marauder.45]

I'm holding my used AWR, and this thing has absolutely 0 markings on it. Not a which side is up, or forward. Nada. Just gloss black paint and red bushings. First owner says he thinks it's a 70 but not sure.

Does it matter which way you install it? It looks like it could fit any way.

 

[Mistersix]

yes, iirc, one hole is bigger than the other, (giggidy) you'll see when you install it. it only goes in one way.
easy install too.

we sell slightly more 70duros than 88s

 

[boost2dms6]

Which one is better performance wise?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

the stiffer one is, absolutely

 

[Mistersix]

the stiffer one is, absolutely

agreed.... stiffer is always better, add in the fact that all bushings break in (wear) with time. if i bought the dogbone mount again i'd go 88 duro.

 

[boost2dms6]

What is the difference in a dogbone and a regular motormount?
