if it is... where can i get a new one or is there some other to make it stop.

Yeah, the stock mitsi mounts (front & rear member mounts - not the side ones) have a habit of going soft. UAS do a polyurethane upgrade mount. They are about $250 a pop exchange thou.... But I highly recommend them

Yep,

Recently replaced my rear one with a rebuilt UAS one - Much better design. It wont break in a hurry!!

Was wondering when you'd see this thread.

Was I really that slow???

Have been working with Photoshop to try and put together a colour, bodykit and wheel chooser. And let me say that Silver is a real bastard to try and fabricate. Got all the others, but cant seem to get it. Spent a couple of hours and no luck.

Sorry to go off topic....

Now your engine mounts too Anbu?!!! Don't get me started on those birds again!!! No but seriously you will need to jack the engine up when you change the mounts so is it possible if I can see how its done?

is there anyone else besides UAS that can rebush the engine mounts, because they are a long way from where I like.

There is a company call Noltec. They have done specialised bushes to order for cars I've owned in the past. They freight too.

Are there anymore updates on the FTO projects page which were researched by UAS? Maybe we can move some of the proven results we got from Technical/Performance forum to FTO projects? Time for an update?

Just a suggestion.........

The engine has 3mounts plus 1 gearbox mount. Did you check all?

And remember that the internal rubber bit will be the broken bit, not the metal surround.

There's one smack bang in the front which you can see easily, and one in the rear which isn't so easy to see.
