Hi guys, it's time to replace engine mounts for my TL 99. I found that I have many options:
- Go with OEM (hydraulic and vac) that maybe break again after 50k miles.
- Innovative choice (no vac) but I am not sure how long it last.
- Fill the mount with polyurethane. Can I use this method to fix current broken mounts? Or use it to improve new mounts performance?
Need you guys opinion cause I want to keep my TL as long as possible, thank you.
1.- Most obvious choice
2.- Cant tell
3.- It works both ways but you cant choose the firmness typically.
4.- Purchase poly mounts < BEST OPTION! MOST EXPENSIVE.
I cant really comment about that as I never used pre-made poly mounts.. My own home made poly filled mounts have been working pretty darn well so far. I hope some could chime in with more info with the aftermarket poly mounts.
I just wonder if I want to fix my broken mount with poly, is it necessary to take out the mount for filling? Can I fill directly when they're still in place? Thanks.
Poly is your best bet but not for the front mount. Use a hydraulic for the front and poly for the rest. You're going to get added vibration in the steering wheel if you go with a non-hydraulic rear poly mount. Front hydraulic dampens a lot of the vibrations at idle -- I should know as I just switched a poly out with a hydraulic mount. Bought the car with all poly mounts but the idle vibration was just too much.
