In regards to Kirk Urethane Motor Mount Inserts, Quick question... Options

[Rymaster]

(Kirk's Inserts Thread link)


I got the inserts and put them on the new motor mounts I got OEM from Toyota.

The rear inserts looks great cause they lay flush with the bolt hole! (see pictures)
But I fear for the front motor mount with the inserts cause it seems to put up about 1/3 inch higher then the bolt hole itself on the mount...

Is this something I should be concerned about? Or is this just room for the "settling shaking" everyone was talking about on the Kirk Insert buy thread? Everyone claimed to have crazy shaking for the first two weeks or so until the inserts settled in. Or should I grind the front inserts down some?

And yes, in case you ask, I did cut out the extra thin rubber in the middle of the motor mounts since they were new.


Rear motor mount with inserts, fits nicely!





Front motor mount with inserts...not to sure ;(

yes rear one fits perfectly even if the motor mount is new. I had the same problem as you, the front motor mount will not fit in all the way unless your current motor mount is way old and damaged. Your going to have to shave/modify it in order for it too fit on the front motor mount. use google and search next time before posting up a new thread here is the link too the polyurethane motor mounts...

I already linked to that thread at the top of my first post, I knew it was there. I just wanted a new thread in this section about this to get a quick answer. The other thread was rather....dead.
