i am getting alot of vibes at idle after installing the stage 2 mounts. anyone else get this? also getting alot of vibes/shaking when i am releasing the clutch in first.

is it possible i installed something wrong?

 

did you loosen the three passenger side engine mount bolts during install and then re-torque them after you installed the trans mounts?

 

this.

 

it will vibe but it's nothing crazy at all. kinda odd

 

yes i did

 

VIBES ftw, get some avids.

my car is a vibrator, chicks love it.

lol

 

after looking back at the install the only thing thing i might have done wrong was i tightened up the front mount before i got the rear one.

should i take them out and try it again? should it really matter which was installed first? the 3 motor mount bolts were the first thing i loosened and the last thing i tightened

 

u will get more vibe with the mounts, mine does it to, but its not like vibe to peices vibes

 

Wait til you turn the a/c on haha

 

i tried it with the heat and ac on.


those that say no increased vibes you have to be nuts. as soon as i got it the car it felt like a rattle box

if this is how they are i might try stage 1s

 

Ive noticed mine r terrible when it's hot out. Never would have guessed it was related to the ac

 

That's why I got stage 1. Stage 2 will transmit more vibes for sure.
With AC on, you feel it at idle (as in stock as well)..no biggie.

 

Loosen the bolts to let it settle then re-tighten them all. Also redo the 3 passenger side ones.

 

actually dont know if anyone knows this but when i added my rear sway bar it took away SOME of the vibes for me

when ac is on tho all bets off

 

I don't have OTT rotated mounts. I have full urathane mounts though. By far much harsher than what you have. When I first installed them they where preaty bad. You'll notice they will get smoother after they settle.

 

raise your idle speeds to 1000 rpm and it will be much better, set the ac on idle to 1000 to

 

Yeah, I get vibes at idle. But I don't notice them any more. Maybe they smoothed out. Maybe I got used to them. Works out the same.

 

This ^ I think most people just get used to them over time.

 

I never noticed increased vibes, this car vibrates less than my wifes Chevy Tracker (if I put a cup with straw in the cup holder the straw will bounce around.)

 

yea women have commented that they enjoy the "ride" haha

so ill deal with it haha

 

There were almost no vibes with Stage 1, however there was still wheel hop at times. The vibes came on with Stage 2 (especially, as someone noted, with the a/c) but it eliminated wheel hop altogether, so I prefer the Stage 2.
