i made a similar wedge months ago from aliminium plate and made a packing piece for other side to make arched cover sit straight when bolted back on so mine wont rust and it does make a huge differance spoke to a few garages and tuning places and the say putting it in will help reduce stress as there is still movement but it is more controlled and not as harsh

SamYou have cracked bodywork under your main mount I should think You need the mount stripped out and the bodywork inspected and welded if necessary |

Water sits in the bottom of the mounts cradle and rust weakens the body  I expect many of us have this problem but don't know about it yet  ________________________________________ GTI-6 & RallyeRallye gets sideways in the wet at Snetterton  |

I don't think it's rust that causes it JimIt's the flexing of the mount tears the bodywork This in turn then rusts |

The creaking could be the exhaust as mine used to do this and the mounting was fine as I fitted a new mount and no metal work damage at all.________________________________________ Impreza Turbo 2000 (every day car)Peugeot 309 MI16 track car |

I can vouch for this making tha car feel better, especially in 1st gear, no more lurching in traffic!Looks like that might stay in place a bit longer than our initial efforts with my car Dom  ________________________________________ Mechanical genius and purveyour of fine meats - You wan chili saus? |

Bear in mind that the thread runs through the body and the rubbing alone would take any rust proofing away ________________________________________ GTI-6 & RallyeRallye gets sideways in the wet at Snetterton |

quote: quote: Looks like that might stay in place a bit longer than our initial efforts with my car Dom Mount Chock Vers 1.2 Dom i have to say it your a genius - I've chocked the mount with a 6mm piece of metal a stainless disc actually and taken the car for a drive. 1. Pulling away there is minimal judder from the clutch. 2. Changing gear is like so smooth its like butter - gears drop in really cleanly and positive. 3. Flooring the car now puts full energy into the wheels instead of iinto the mount moving and this makes car feel faster and you can actually feel the different power coming in across the rev range. 4. Floring it round corners feels a dam site smoother as engine isn't flopping about effecting the steering by tugging at it less. But the exhaust is leaking at the join more - so what i reckon i will do in this case is wedge both sides equall amount so when engine is in the upright position it will be chocked central rather than chocked back towards the cabin. This should be ok shouldnt it ? Top man and five gold stars  Its quite amazing how much this effects lots of aspects of the cars drive.  ________________________________________ time for a new sig! |

I think you could be right mate, just poped down the garage to get her booked in for next week, and when i got home and reversed into the drive way i hung out the window (Ace Ventura stylee) and it sounds like it coming more from under the car rather than the front, I do have a magnex so could be more than likely the exaust and not the mounts ( I will get them checked anyway) ________________________________________ Times move on and things change, My old 6 i loved, my new Civic Type R i respect!

oh a word of warning regarding packing the mounting out, make sure the pieces are secured ie with cable ties or by the cradle thing that bolts over the top of the mount because if the piece of metal was to fall out of the mount it will fall into the polly belt!!! and it will prob cause big damage!! if it takes out the cambelt |
