This is a solid Delrin (Acetal) front motor mount for the Toyota
1MZ-FE engine. This mount was originally made for it's application in the Toyota
Solara, but may fit other models with the 1MZ-FE.
The stock mount shown below, like that of many vehicles, is
hollow and barely
able to handle stock levels of power, and is prone to failure when the
supporting mods increase the power numbers. Many people stiffen the mount by
filling the mount with Polyurethane. While filling it does help, many have
experienced the mount still failing after a time. With a Cheetah solid mount,
not only with the mount not fail, but the shifts will be much crisper. There may
be a small amount of added vibration on a car, but pressing the gas
pedal, the car is much more responsive, as the motor does not lose as much
torque into the mounts.
The mount is installed just as the stock mount. Installation takes about 90 minutes, with
floor jacks, a socket set, and a press to remove the old mount. The mount does not include the mounting bracket, only the insert replacement.
