THS bottom engine mount

<< < (2/5) > >>

john_o:
THS bottom mount is known for being a little harsh.
Maybe THS side mounts and an OE lower mount (+/- insert) would be a good compromise for you?

If you can, Id probably try and persevere for a bit and drive the car hard to soften the mount a little......

The harmonics do change over a period (i found the aircon load put my car right into the vibration zone), but then I have a VWR lower mount not a THS one.

the bruce:
If you don't have the simple insert but the full ''bushing'' easiest way
to make it softer is to drill two hole in it. Sounds stupid, but will work.
It will still be stiffer than stock.

Carrera2RS:
Bruce,

Thanks, what a clever idea  :happy2:

I'll see if I can find a picture of an original to see where the open sections are and potentially drill in the same location

Poppa Dom:
It must be fairly similar to mine that you went out in?

Carrera2RS:
Dom, hi

Unfortunately not, yours seemed fine !
