I came up with a replacement for the discontinued engine torque damper. found a 6" universal elastic damper on ebay for $33 on ebay. it has a fixed bearing on one end and an adjustabe lrod end bearing on the other. to make it work i removed the adjustable end and installed a 4" garde 8 10mm coarse thread bolt in its place, used the included lock nut to fix the top of the bolt tight to the upper mount and reused the top mount upper and lower rubbers and washers on the 4" bolt. the bottom rod end is thinner so i had to use 2 washers on each side of the bearing to fill the gap on the bottom bolts unthreaded porton, but the bottom bolt fits the bearing tight. so far its working great( alot tighter) If any one wants to check out the damper the sellers name on ebay is "boostmasters" and the current auction # is 170635067610. im picking up 2 more for the other mounts and will post pics of the install soon!

I actually sheared the bolt on the bottom of the side dampener. When I replaced that bolt the engine didn't move around as much. In my case, I think the real problem is my rear mount, though. It's old, worn and soaked in oil, thanks to my (now repaired) cam sensor leak.
I have old-style SHOShop solid limiters in all three places.

Time for new motor mounts. Maybe a transmission mount, too.
just wanted a little extra to go along with reinforced mounts. when i got the car the motor mounts were so shot the intake was rubbing the hood insullation and polishing a spot on the intake. just workin for a little extra support

They will do nothing with the right reinforced motor mounts. Cool find, but they will just be there for decoration.

It's certainly not hurting anything having them in conjunction with a reinforced MM. I know Ashley has some reinforced ones on her car, we have yet to remove them simply because they have not got in the way yet.
