Thread: CS dogbone mount install issue.

Because was using a scissors jack to pry the engine forward by the frame and the passenger side axle that's how bad this was pissing me off. I'm going to install some new axles and see if the vibrations go away I needed some new ones anyway, I damaged them last season at Import wars. I honestly don't even want to drive the car, there is something about mickey mousing jobs that isn't me. I can't drive the car unless I know it's in perfect shape.

If you need new axles anyway, swap em up. I would be very careful to check everything else out while you are in that area. When does this vibration occur? BTW, I guess this hangover affected my spelling in that quote you used of mine, LOL. Long night in Boston FTW

lmao i havent heard that term in years "mickey mouse job" hehe

The vibrations occur during driving. I am going to get an alignment done by a credible shop because I noticed one of my front wheels were off by eyeballing it. Fricking rookies at NTB. By the way are you from boston?

Lol my dad uses it alot, you should hear him say it with that deep voice, cracks me up every time.

You have nothing there at all? Or you have the stock mount? Pulling the front might be putting more stress on the other three than they should have..



Honestly I do not think you could have bent your axles this way. I am pretty sure the CV joints would pop out before that happened. Unless you were putting a moment on the transmission side of the shaft, that is.



How did you damage them? Good reason to swap



If you installed it at the same time as the mounts, then it's more likely that is your issue.

Automatic cars didn't even come with the front mount. You get a lot more engine movement, but the engine isn't going to fall out or anything (though I bet you're right about the other mounts wearing faster). Definitely not ideal though.

It sounds to me that the sway bar is more than likely the culprit of the vibration. Is it an adjustable bar? If so, you need to adjust it with the front suspension loaded (as it would be while driving). It is highly unlikely that you bent an axle. I am from CT about 10 mins outside of Hartford, I just seem to end up in Boston all the time lately, LOL. Go SOX!

Um, you are going to get a decent vibration from the prothane mounts, and the dog bone will just amplify that. Does the vibration increase or decrease with speed? Does it change at different RPM's? My car vibrates quite a bit at idle and is kind of loud when driving but that is to be expected with the porthane mounts.

This is true also, I was just assuming you knew the difference between a suspension or front end vibration and an engine mount vibration. If you don't know the difference it is going to be tough to find what the issue is, lol.
