Yeah, I think so, I just got them this month. The spacers seem just a hair to wide but not by much. Like I said they are in and not coming out so meh.

 

yeah gotya, maybe thats why they are so tight, all of the powell(ottp) rotated mounts iv dealt with fit with out issue...oh well, like ya said, at least they are in

 

Sorry to bump an older thread. I just did these tonight what kind of vibrations are there. I only feel vibration at idle any other time its fine. I didn't do much of a "short drive" I went up and down the driveway at my parents and also went in reverse everything was "loose" torqued to specs.

I did notice my engine mount bolts didn't line back up but I am not driving this car to far. So far the mounts seem worth it. Also after everything I drove it for half an hour and the CEL came on(no idea on code until I get scanned tomorrow) This wouldn't have to do with those engine mount bolts would it? Everything ran fine the entire time, nothing changed or felt wrong.

 

The CEL came from you having a Cobalt cant have everything working at once you know

 

you probably fixed this already, but here's my response for people installing these in the future.

your intake piping probably separated alittle bit and your probably throwing a code for the maf sensor. This happened to me from jacking up the engine to get the rear mount's bolt through the hole. Check you piping, re-tighten the clamp then clear the code...a$$uming this is your problem.

 

Is there supposed to be a lot of vibration??

 

****
didn't put the spacers on..
********* in my mouth


i tightened it down all the way without spacers...

 

Fair warning
These instructions should have a BOLD PRINT saying DON'T FORGET TO PUT YOUR SPACERS IN
I was following the step by step instructions and it doesn't say anything about the spacers, I guess it was assumed. I forgot I even had the spacers to begin with.
The front trans mount bent the metal bracket, and I can't bend it back out.. So no spacers there and it seems to hold OK.

This is the aftermath of tightening the rear trans mount down with no spacers

 

holy **** dude, thats fucked!!!

i actually ended up with 6 spacers, so i still have two chillin in the tool box(used them for a few random things, came in kinna handy)

 

Damn that sucks. Obviously there is a lot of movement without the spacers in

 

The front transmission mount bracket just bent and I couldn't un-bend it to put the spacers back in> i'm sure it's okay the way it is.. I hope..

I have to drive to work and back the next few days. .. Should be okay without the rear tran mount if I take it easy ?

 

iono, sounds sketchy for sure

 

no offense but were you drunk during install?

 

Well lets hope it stays there.

 

I wouldn't risk it. You already messed up the car. No need in dropping your tranny in the middle of the road

 

I'm going to call your bluff!
I HAVE to go to work though

 

:waitsforthreadonpaperweightcobalt:

 

no. Just thinking about divorcing my wife

 

K i need to find a ride to work. LOL


I feel like such a n00b after doing this..
So embarrassing.

 

There is no point in risking it. You have already done enough damage lol.

 

hopefully you can fix the subframe

 

For the front bracket?
It's on their solid.. It's not going anywhere.

 

That hot thing that's sprawled all over your car??

Either way, I'd be scared to drive it. Can you over night some new mounts/brackets?

 

No.. No one will express or anything..

I drove it 2 miles today
I'm so nervous to drive..
It's a PITA!

It feels solid.. And i took it really REALLY easy when I did drive it. The front mount is on their good
and the mounts are fine
I just need the rear bracket.

 

if the front is bent those mounts will be worthless as far as performance
