Megan racing Motor Mounts review?

is there anyone who currently have or has tested the megan racing urethane motor mounts for our cars?

my mounts are going bad and is getting worse by the week. oem ones shipped to me would be about $265 so i'd rather get the megan's for an extra $55 if they are good.


anyone?

They are modified stock mounts.
If yours are going bad and you have a couple spare days in a hot summer weekend you might consider filling yours with polyurethane.
Same result, 20$ tops

It's not covered, i'm sorry. However Mazmart has them for fairly cheap and, in the event that you wanted to make them harder, new motor mounts are an excellent starting point. Filling them with polyurethane is a breeze. Still cheaper than Megan's option

Hmm, mine has been on for 3 years and it's still good (no shaking)

that's after they replaced it 3 times of course.



but I probably gonna lift it up and look at it next year. just to be sure that it's really good.

The people here who did it on their own can't believe anyone would pay that much either.

It's really all you have to do...
My diy for the spark plugs would be: reach to them, unscrew, screw the new ones.
No need for fancy pictures or a gazillion steps with detailed descriptions.

I'm just wondering about the cutting. My motor mounts are blown. I'm ordering a new set of mounts and was wondering what i can do to modify the blown ones or at least practice on them, haha.

I use an additional step when you do your own? It concerns the mounting bolt.
