Hi, I have started a bunch on threads with this whole rear mount and bracekt problem, well i just recently had purchased a rear alltrac mount and bracket (st185), anyways, alot of people didn't say it would work, and told me to get a st205 mount, well here are some pics of a st185 bracket and mount and my e153 tranny (mr2), if u want to ask question just shoot, sry for bad pics

Ron its Danny. Again Im not sure if the crossmember has bushings or not but if Doc says they dont then I would take his word for it.

As for the mounts again they are ST205 mounts and brackets, remoeved from a St205 Gen3 3SGTE motor - I also have the engine mount and trans bracket from the gen3 motor as well.

The front mount is normal to sit low on the bolt like that about 99% of them all do unless they are using solid crossmember bushings and solid motor mounts.

FYI the front/rear motor mount bushing inserts sold by SpeedSource are specific to the st165-st185 and will not fit a st20x front mount. The front mount on a St20x is narrower than its predececors.

As for the rear mount the SpeedSource insert will work in your application ie. st20x

How well is the mount secured to the crossmember in the rear?

Again Im not sure if you are using the proper the mounts and brackets for the engine and tranny or not but judging by the angle of your engine I would assume that something is not right in your choice of parts - if you need the ST205 ones I have them as well.

As for the axle I have an axle removed from a 1MZ manual equipped Camry, if Eggman could elaborate wether the year is of importance that would be helpful. I have compaired it with ST185 axles I have and the Camry one is longer however the spline count is more compaired to the ST185 one so Im not sure if ST20x hubs use a greater number of splines compaired to there older brothers.
