dohc v6 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I bought the ffp mount a long time ago maybe 2 years. well recently the poly bushings inside the mount are very loose. like i can move the bushing in the mount. i think the rsm one is better. should i just have the ffp drilled out and stick a solid piece of poly in there.

GOT2B GM Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 The RSM one is just a factory mount with poly bushings in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SigEpCutlass Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 from what I hear Michael is a nice guy. Maybe he'll give you a replacement free of charge, or atleast at a reduced rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dohc v6 Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 if you take the aluminum spacer out that holes two pieces of poly together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 So the poly bushings in the FFP mounts are 2 piece bushings?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 So the poly bushings in the FFP mounts are 2 piece bushings?? Yeah, we found this out at the W body meet. The poly over time is going to where out a little and move enough that you can take it out of the dogbone, but I don't think it should affect performance.

Prospeeder Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 lower mounts go out, and causes accelerated wear on the upper mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I park in a garage As do I. 8) At my old house though, I went through a set of standard replacement dogbones in a little over a year from having to park in a steep driveway.
