Or will they vibrate and cause more noise ?

 

Mike R told me not to on a road car Kev

 

Ok chas,poly ones then,what you got on yours pal ?

 

I had solid mounts on my saph, put them on in 1997, apart from very slight diff whine they were fine, and it stopped tyres scraping the wheel arch liners on track, the beam moved that much on the original worn out mounts that the wheeels scraped the liners on track!

I would say do the Donuts solid yes but fit a poly diff mount and not solid mount it on a road car if you want a more relaxing drive. solid diff mount just passed on too much vibration for a comfy road car IMO.Poly all round would be a decent upgrade over std

 

solid mounts are the best suspension mod i ever did to my saff, completly changed the handling for the better, and no more noise than poly bushes.....

ive done 50k with mine with no issues at all,

 

which ones are these any pics?

 

Powerflex on mine Kev!

 

More confused than ever now!!! Got a poly bushed diff mount,but beam ones are standard.

 

imo, for road use, a good std diff mount and solid beam mounts is the best combo

 

My standard ones were fooked Kev, poly ones were a big upgrade on mine, but obviously can't comment on solids...

 

Alloy beam mounts with 909 diff mount and standard ford arm bushes = a1 set up

cheeRS stu

 

So are mine i think,cheers pal.

Aye,the elusive bushes.

 

when i launch my car i get heavy banging up and down of the rear wheels in arch,ive been told diff mount?

i have polybush kit but been lazy as fuck its been in the cupboard for a year

 

agreed, std diff mount (in good condition) solid beam mounts, handling is so much better and only slightly more noise than normal and i use mine every day,



get em fitted dude

 

Who sells solid and poly ones,mike r ?

 

who sells solid mounts then?

 

I have pollys in mine which were better than standard, but i have a set of solids for when the car comes back on the road.

 

yes , yes use a standard diff mount if your using solid beam mounts

if you use both you will get noise and vibration been there yrs ago

about 50quid on ebay dudes

 

ive got solid beam mounts on my 2wd and im running a solid diff mount, ive driven bout 7000miles with no issues at all,
1 its made the rear end really responsive,
although the solid diff mount is a bit over kill

 

Sorted,got some from richie.

 

Glad to help Kev

 

Cheers pal.

 

care to tell people about the noise and vibration though dude?

 

You will be wanting me to fit them keve

 

10 mins a side to fit....

 

You just know i aint doing them myself !! Will see if my mechanic will do them.

 

kev, my boarder collie could fit a set of these

 

Ssshhh what noise and vibration lol

well im not sure what is like with out a solid diff mount, but i get a constant whine from my diff (even though it had only done 1500miles since it was re-built)
and i suffer from back lash slightly when commin off the power, i would assume a standard mount would eliminate this?

launches r brutal but its worth it in my opinion, i suppose it depend on if you use your car as a daily driver?

ive just driven to and from the ring, n found the car really easy going,
im also running coil overs

 

Talented dog,mine cant take a drink without spilling it all over the place.

 

Kev doesnt like to get his hands dirty

 

Pmsl,but very true.

 

just out of interest, the guys with the solid mounts, have you left them in bare Alum?

 

Got a set of these on the focus (in gold)
Feels waaaay better than my saph ever did

 

Blow by blow account please.

 

Agreed. It may also cause the diff casing to crack...

 

I do it the other way round and use Powerflex beam bushes and the alloy diff mount. Mine handles okay .

 

remove bolts
remove bush
fit new bush
replace bolts
you don't even need to lift the car off it's wheels

 

i've got a very good condition standard item if anyones interested

came off my 36k mile 3dr.

P.S this is not a for sale post
