Is Upgrading Your Engine Mounts Even Worth It?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Do aftermarket engine mounts even do anything? Who knows? Today on Money Pit, Zach installs a fancy set of polyurethane engine mounts on the miata as he explores the pros and cons of different types of engine mounts.

    I guess Zach just forgot to mention it, that this change also works the other way around. If you start experiencing vibration over time, mostly through the seats while even sitting still at the light in neutral, it's almost certain your mounts are shot to bits. It gets worse if they are oil filled or hydraulic ones. They progressively worsen. Changing them with new brings back the comfort. And always change them all at the same time, don't try to cheap out by just changing one - this will really bite you in the ass. It's like changing the brake calipers only on one side of the car.

    Great fix. And great note about avoiding cross-threading. I've found the best way to ensure thread match is to set up the fastener as if I'm ready to tighten (with forward pressure), slowly turn in the direction of loosen until I feel the click, and then turn to tighten. Most nuts & bolts can be blind-aligned this way with little hassle.

Very “race car.” I actually have mounts I haven’t installed in my own Miata yet, after hearing about people going back to stock after using the poly mounts I got the Mazda Speed performance version. Essentially stock rubber mounts, but slightly stiffer. Sounds perfect to me.

It's 20 years old and i got oil all over the mounts because i;m an idiot. I got the new ones in and it feels so much tighter i'm amazed it can feel like that. The mounts were already off when i got it so i never experienced it like that. Even the cluth and shifter feel more precise.

    Your bolts lined up so much easier than mine. I have an 01. Using stock mounts I had to detach the bracket from block on drivers side. Bolted the mount to frame on drivers side. Lower engine until passenger side was lined up, then make tiny adjustments w/ jack until I could get engine to line up on drivers side and bolt bracket to block. Big improvement, I went with the mazda comp mounts.
