How-To : AWR Rear Mount Install
- Thread starter gar777
- Start date
Just did the front mount this past weekend, and I rear some of you would like some better photos to help for point of referrence. I hope they help. On a side note, the car vibrates more with just the front mount changed out--like I'm driving over those cuts in the road before you come to the toll booth or something...except that's when I'm at idle. When driving I feel little more vibration through the car. If it means I don't have to replace anymore cracked midpipes, I'll be a happy camper.

i have more pic.s of install for the rear and even tools needed. i think now that youve done the front only, the rear stock will be more likely to fail. if ur good and have all the tools, u can do the rear in 2 hours. you can also come over to my house and ill help? i dont know... BUT, get the right tools and do the rear also. wat durometer did u install? not the 95 i hope...

my mounts are the 70 durometer, and although I appreciate your offer to help me out in person, I'm not so sure the gas money and time off from work would justify it 
(I'm in Madison, WI).
If it's only $75-$100 bucks then it's *completely* worth passing along the headache to a paid professional. I'm going to have a shop install mine unless they come back with a $150+ estimate or something like that.

rear mount now installed
Did the mount this weekend, and all I can say is great write up (thumb) . Once I read them while looking at the car it all made perfect sense. Those directions saved me and my buddy (a mechanic thank god) probably 1-2 hours of frusrated swearing fits.
One thing to note is how much more the engine vibrates the car. I'm not diggin' that at all. When at idle with the headlights and heat on, the car's working just hard enough to shake the rear view mirror and maybe stimulate a female driver/passenger (for better or worse). I hope that it settles in a bit, because it's a bit UNsettling as of now.
+rep for the how to.

1000 mile follow up:
Headlights + foglights + heater = rattle your teeth out (or arouse your female passengers...if you're an optimist). My wife calls it the rolling vibrator which is great imo, but she's pregnant and that's not good in this case.
It get's worse if you are using the A/C, so I don't see it mellowing out much. It maybe got 20% better since install. Still, I haven't been cracking anymore midpipes or getting wheel hop, so that's worth the price of admission in the long run.
