ok, when I drive my car from 1st to 2nd and some times 3rd the front bottom of my car shakes alot. Is this because I need new bushings??? or maybe I dont have enogh power through my gears I shift at every 2500 to 3000RPMs depending on road conditions. thanks it gets annoying
Try shifting like Steve said at a little higher RPM, if it still shudders like it's bogging down, then your engine mounts are probably shot. racerb
shifting at 1500 rpm doens't make my celica or any of the others I had rattle... So I think indeed your engine mounts are at it's end.
I would tend to agree with lone wolf on the mounts being shot. I very often change at 1500-2000 in town driving with no problems in any 3 of my celicas.
Should I change cross member bushing or engine mounts first??? Cause my cross member bushing are like gone there all ripped up??? And cause I don't have enough money for both :sad
Ok al get Engine mounts first.....but dang... I also need cross member bushings two mine are all ripped up and stuff.. but thanks
If you want to save yourself a little money, this kit allows you to pour your own engine mounts using the stock housings. Go with a low durometer for a street car, anything higher than about an 80 will cause too much vibration at idle. http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=DIYMMI racerb :science
