Sigh.... ANOTHER solid mount question...

[kylejw]

I realize there are like 10 solid mount posts per week, but I looked through all of them and didn't see anyone asking my question. I'm pretty sure I will see when I do the install this weekend, but what are the 3 metal cylinders that came in the package for? I just don't want to start tearing my car apart only to be confused what they're for.


Thanks

there spacers that go with the driver side mount they go on the 3 vertical studs between the mount and the nuts

So I got them all installed, pretty damn easy by comparison to other things I've done... Only problem I had was the front mount falling on my face

I'm N/A so the rear mount actually ended up being the easiest with the help of my ratchet and 5 extensions

I damn love these things though, not just because of the badass feeling my car now has... but because they seem to have helped my transmission shifting. Can someone explain this? I mean it makes sense if the shifter was solidly attached to the tranny, but since there's cables I don't see why? Basically the transmission is the same notchiness as always, but the gears seem to slide in with more confidence.... hard to explain, but it's the same feeling people describe when they install solid shifter bushings.


Anyways, thanks Terry you rock. I'm now sporting solids, adjustable control arms, and theres a test pipe in a box in my room
