Morning all,

Need some advise please.... my 4x4 has a 2wd conversion. What engine mounts should this have as I have some exhaust clearance issues.

Cheers

If it's been converted to 2wd it should have a 2wd crossmember, mount's and i'm not 100% sure but the downpipe may need to be 2wd (i know systems are different)

your mounts should look like this

uprated 2wd mount

std 2wd mount

if they are right then you may have to look at the downpipe

or crossmembers

Hello matey,

Nope - work has taken over and as you can see by my other thread, just got it running again this morning with the help of lads from here

Mate thats really helpfull. Looking at it just now, id say I have a 2wd cross member and setup. Mounts are standard.

The exhaust I have is a 4x4 and its fouling the box. The downpipe is also really close to the bulkhead. To be fair, the 2wd downpipe I had was the same in that respect.

It looks like the engine could do with moving up an inch - thats all it needs.
I also get quite a judder when pulling off

Was hoping this was an engine mount issue? What you guys rekon??

I use a Flo flex one on mine. it's a bit noisy, but not too bad.

Think the ones I've got are 4wd so won't fit the 2wd cross member

I may be wrong here but i'm guessing your issue stems from the system passing under the box to run down the opposite side - this is pulling the downpipe downwards and completely in the wrong position - their was a reason they redesigned the 2wd ex system when they did 4x4

Thats my theory look at your exhaust as you really need a 2wd complete system that runs down the drivers side of the box

Mungus

Yes mate - you could be right but mine has a 2wd conversion. I had been informed that the 4x4 system will fit a 2wd, but obveously the 2wd system wont fit the 4x4?
