HOW TO: Install TRZ DogBone Rear MotorMount
- Thread starter ZooMIN3
- Start date
Headlight fluid? I need to check mine ASAP!
But seriously I've read a really scary account of the passenger side mount going to hell in another forum. Marketing ploy perhaps?
Pm me a link please? This is the first time I've heard of this.

we have a few damper solutions for the passenger side which are going to help alleviate any stress on that mount. we want to approach that mount itself as a replacement with caution. one of the aftermarket mounts had rampant failures reported and we're not looking to repeat that on a product we sell. we're looking to be far more careful moving forward on product releases from the lessons we've learned on our own and with others.
possibly dumb question: red or blue loctite?
I used red on mine.

many thanks, zoomin3 and everyone else who contributed. this has got to be the easiest mod. however, i probably would have been too chickensh3t to try it w/o the picture pages.
started her up on the ramps and omfg what a difference. the vibes remind me of my old 93 z28 police interceptor. feels like i have an lt1 back under the hood. keep her above 1500 rpm (which you should do anyway) and all is well.
there are two kinds of mods - ones that give you chubbies and others that are more subtle. the trz dogbone is the former.

the break in over the next tank of gas or two will reduce the amount of vibrations by a good deal, so put the mount through its paces and let us know in a few hundred miles how it has held up!

^ He's right. After about 200 miles, my mounts have calmed down considerably.
They are approaching the point of feeling like the CS inserts when first installed.
still providing the good gains though, yes?

warmer weather helps too barely noticeable then.

I just put this in this afternoon. The longest part was driving to get new jack stands before I started. This is the easiest mod I've done and I love the results!! Excellent write up!
