Is the weapon r torque brace worth buying or am i waisting my money. I don't want it if it is going to mess my car up. If anybody has any info on it let me know.

There are some poly engine mounts out now that should be better than a torque brace. I got mine on order, i will see how they do when they come in.

 

I got some bad noise and vibration on hard left turns with mine. The engine side bracket rubs against the motor mount during left turns. I spent a couple weeks messing with it and then finally just took it off. I'm definately looking into new motor mounts now like Chevypowered ordered.

 

whats up i bought a factory trans mount thursday and filled with 3m super fast urethan.
checked it out friday not completely dryed yet but a 100% improvement. will install ont he yellow beast on tuesday.

 

So where are you guys ordering your poly uretheane motor mounts from?

 

yeah... wut he said ^^^^

 

If you put a torque brace or any kind of upgraded mount you will get more vibration. Eather you will get vibration or wheel hop. you can't have the best of bolth worlds. I have solid motermounts in my FWD car and it is a good amount of vibration but i have no wheel hop at all.

 

http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_...ts1.php?id=483 I ordered this one. It is only one mount though.

 

hmm where does everyone get these weapon r torque braces at and are they compatible with the 2.2 models? same with the engine mount on zzp

 

I'm not sure if they are compatable. Do you have a picture of the passenger side of your engine bay?

 

 

I took my Weapon R brace off because of vibrations when turning left. I'm going to list it on e-bay in the near future.

Peace

 

Yup, same problem here. I also removed mine.


Peace

 

I don't think the engine damper will work because of your intake routing. But if the motor mount on that side looks like the one that zzp has for sale than it should work.

 

damn....where can you buy them from tho so i can ask

Email Ray (RAY.FONG@WEAPON-R.COM) he should be able to answer your questions.

 

weapon r has released new brackets for the brace to stop this rubbing call them up they should be sending them out for free guys..... had a problem with mine the new brackets work great no more rubbing...

 

I received the new brackets and although the welds are much improved they still need to be reworked for proper fitment.

Weapon R does not reply to my e-mails or answer the phone after many tries


The only way I was able to receive the replacement brackets was because of help from a member on .com that knew Ray and helped me out.


I wanted to ask for my money back, looks like I will list it on e-bay soon.



Peace

 

Are you sure its only one?? It has to come with two or it would be pointless. Did they tell you its only one mount or did you just guess? It shows two in the pic on their site.

 

Not positive, it looks like one mount to me though
