i was looking at getting the motor mounts to stop the wheelhop. ubt then i buddy of mine said getting a stiffer strut in the front might be better to stop the wheels from bounce, i guess mustang drivers do this and have some sort of quad strut setup to keep the wheels on the ground. what do you guys think i'm better off going with?

 

motor mounts, tourque braces, and a strut bar. then if you have the ss/sc get rid of the 18's and go with 16-17 and more tire.

 

good rubber, lightweight 18's (SS S/C)

 

what they said and by the way mustangs are RWD, not FWD, so wheel hop solution to them is diffrent then our solution.

 

yeah. mustang RWD. the don't need to take care of wheelhop. it's better when the front wheels are off the ground all together

Replacing the front and rear motor mounts with solid Poly-U will almost eliminate drivetrain lash on any transversly mounted front wheel drive car.

 

thanks guys, yeah the shop i go to is all rwd drive cars like mustangs and trans ams, there not used to cars like the cobalt. would the poly control arm bushings from jbody performance also do the job by themselves, or would i be better off getting one mount and the bushings, or all 3?

 

i have the passenger side mount and control arm bushings.... no more wheel hop.

 

Who would be a good vender to buy new motor mounts from?

 

These seem to be the best mount for the $$$.

How hard is it to install these control arm bushings ? Do you need a press ?

 

ya u need a press, pretty hard with out one.

 

if i were to get the new motor mounts and control are bushings what wopuld a shop charge me to put these in hour wise

 

Mount .5 hours bushings 1.5-2 hours and will probably try to get you to do an alignment at the same time even though its not needed.

Control arm bushings will be the single best thing to stop the hop, the motor mount will finish up the job. The motor mount will also stop the motor from feeling like it's going to crash through the firewall on hard shifts. Tranny mounts will make your shifts feel rock solid.

 

where can you get the control arm bushing?

 

Don't know if theres a diff between the SS and the SS S/C for fitment but here
