Now please hurry up and finish the other mount also....

[GolfRS]

Oh and another thing...Doesn't the car need an alignment after you remove the metal plate ?

No as no steering components are touched.

Sorry, but I beg to differ. 4 of the bolts you take out (that your DIY classified as "subframe bolts") actually are the steering rack bolts. So you're completely removing the steering rack from the carrier. There is room for things to move around a little and your alignment may be affected. IIRC Neuspeed recommends alignment after installing front swaybar, which requires removing the front subframe also.

All of our customers so far have not required an alignment.I think you will be fine.

Any update on this ??

I really need to upgrade my side mounts but don't wanna use different companies.

Please hurry up with the transmission mount (is it gonna be ready by the end of the month for example ??)

[INA]

Transmission mount is coming soon.I know this is what is holding people from buying the mounts but trust me.The wait will be well worth it.

Thanks Bob G.

I hacked out the old bushing tonight waiting for the INA bushings.

Ill have a little easier way for removing the old and installing the new bushing without completely dropping the sub-frame . I wil post up pic's and basic hand tools needed to get this job done . Bob.G

I thought about the same thing, but the upper mount must be impossible to reach without removing the subframe.

The lower can be done though.

There was plenty of room from the bottom to do remove the top mount you just need to cut out the center rubber portion before you cut the outer plastic case. Bob.G

I agree, but the problem lies with installing the upper mount, which seems impossible without removing the subframe, since you can't just squeeze it through the lower hole....

I wonder if just the lower mount would be more than enough for the desired effect, since that is the
point most of the flexing occurs.By "solidifying" the lower mount, there should be little to zero flexing of the upper mount as well...I think...

Big to INA for quick service, received my mount today after only 2 days product looks well produced. I will be installing them tomorrow night I will take some pic's . Bob.G

p.s. Ill be install it with 2 thick washers a little smaller than the bushing putting one on each side ( 1 on top of the top mount and 1 on the bottom of the bottom mount ). I will then take a C clamp and squeeze them together.

Well with plan B today LOL

Had to take the sub-frame down completely really not that bad I could not fit them when sub-frame is in place . Just used a vise as shown on page 1 to push them in .

Only thing you should do is put a big leading edge chamfer on the O.D. of the mounts so they slip in easier .

I will give a review next week after I finish a few other things on the car and get driving it again . Bob.G

I believe you're suppose to replace all subframe bolts when removed.

[2pt0tee]

Nope, not necessary. I've dropped my carrier assembly 3 times now w/o replacing any subframe bolts.

Engine mount bolts on the other hand I'll only re-use once... and since I did my t-belt the engine side bolts got re-used once, and during the clutch install the transmission side got re-used... so when I put in the new mounts I replaced all the bolts listed above.
