How-To : AWR Rear Mount Install

FYI,
my car is at dealership getting a new LSD under warranty (40K miles), so i am having them put the OEM rear mount BACK in while they have it all apart...Vibration just got worse over time, way too much!

hmm
today i'll be installing the AWR "street" mount.
it's the one that is softer than the automatic mount.
 
Actually now that I think about it more, I have street front and rear...still way to much vibrations, but it is getting colder here. Not only that but I have both side mount poly inserts. Good luck!
 
damn, just finished!
i let it warm up and idle.....not that much vibration.
actually less vibration with street rear mount and stock front than with MT front and stock rear.

we'll see how it is when driving.

BTW, what a PITA those 3 nuts were. s***!
i broke some extentions trying to get them off.

that bottom bolt of the plastic bracket was actually not that bad at all.
took 10 min to take the whole bracket off.
just need a swivel adapter or a spring extention.

all in all went pretty smooth, although i had to take a break cause i cut my hand pretty bad when the extention broke. had to clean the blood off the engine cover, lol ;)
it was a craftsman extention too!!
 
thanks man :)
i would never do it if it wasnt for this thread.
i'm gonna order street inserts for my front AWR mount.
i'll let u guys know how the vibration is.
 
front is REALLY easy.
5-10 min tops.

just jack your car up and u'll see.

YEP, needs a 17mm wrench, 3 bolts


u don't even have to jack up the car :D
I needed a breaker bar for that little s***, actually.
 
Well the thing is, I don`t know exactly where the rear ones are. Never seen a pic. or nothin... Sounds like a real b**** too. What are the tools needed for the rear? The first post on here makes it sound like you need every single metric socket and extension ever made.

i used 3 extentions.....but i didnt take our the throttle body,
broke one extention.

used a breaker bar and applied so much pressure that it actually bent a little.
bolts still would not budge.
PB blaster and 2 beers later they came off like butter.
 
haha
i sold my MSP with rear mount in and corksport S-pipe.
they didnt even drive the car ;)
 
I brought the RR racing motor mount insert, since it is the insert only which steps should i skip?? i dun have to take the entire mount out right??

can i just take the center bolt out and put the insert in?
