solid engine mounts

[MoTox8410]

what would happen if fabbed up a solid engine mount for my car only for my dogbone besides extra vibation??

 

or if i a added a piece of sheet metal 1/4" to the left side of the dogbone if you could imagine (i know a solid one would be better but...)

 

will it tear up my other mounts or just vibrate like hell???

Do the solid one, it WILL vibrate like hell.

It will vibrate like hell...we used one we made out of wood to see if the engine was really bucking badly or if it was a CV shaft...yeah it was a CV shaft.

 

Don't waste your time!

It will vibrate like hell; my friend did it to his Cavalier. It's insane.

i have the poly mounts from ZZP in mine, not really bad vibration at all, or do you mean a solid lower mount?

I'm not sure what he meant, but my buddy's car has the solid lower mount.

the dogbone for now and then maybe a lower one

dog bones will cause some mild vibration but nothing bad, I have inserts on the frame side, havent done them on the engine side yet.

so i did it and a lil bit more vibration (more so a clicking noise) and it definitley seems easier to light them up
