VERBATIM:
These mounts are each made of a
solid piece of Delrin and have a stainless steel bushing fit in each
mount for the connecting bolt. The best way to describe Delrin is that
it is a plastic that has the strength of metal. It is commonly used in
place of metal in applications where metal can not be used (magnetic,
corrosion, or conducting / insulating reasons). It is machined exactly
like metal, and on the same equipment. This is much stiffer than
Urethane bushings, and it will not give or wear out. With this mount,
it should never need to be replaced, unlike the stock unit.
This mount stops most of the "jumping" or "twisting" of the motor under the hood. This movement is caused by the large mass of the crankshaft and transmission components that are rotating. With stock mounts, the engine seems to want to lift itself out when the throttle is opened. Over time, this force will destroy the stock rubber mount. When this happens, the rubber usually splits in two, allowing the engine to move a few inches back and forth. This can destroy CV joints and create even worse wheelhop.
The shifts will be much crisper. Mashing the gas pedal, the car is much more responsive, as the motor does not lose as much torque into the mounts. On a car with a stock setup, there is some added vibration though; although not much.
The mount is installed just as the stock mount. Once on the car, it looks stock, unless one knows what to look for. Installation is the same as replacing a stock mount.
