New car...........

JimmyH · 19th December 2008, 11:08

not quite, but it sure feels and sounds like it. I just replaced the lower engine mount on my ZT, as you guys said, a 10 minute job and the difference is amazing. Big thanks to all you guys who post fixes, another that has saved me a few bob.

Getting a set of new tyres fitted tomorrow, looking forward to feeling the difference there too .:xmas:

Nice one Jimmy. I got my new lower mount from Alex Noble yesterday so I'll be waiting for the next decent day (or when I can get my backside in gear!) to get it fitted.

YESSSSS!! sorted! lol

Just ordered one from Rimmers, hope it will arrive before Christmas so I can fit it while I'm off work.

I'm assuming I'll have to put the car on the ramps (which means I'll have to take the front bumper off first because of the overhang), and also the undertray. Can anyone confirm? Thanks

At least with the bumper off I can also replace the Intercooler O-rings.

Afraid so!, sits above the sump plug kind of area. I'm a bit spoiled with hydraulic ramps, but if you can get underneath you can change it.

If yours is worn you will be very impressed with the difference the new one makes.

Fraid it is a ramp job though or axle stands ;(

Don't take the bumper off unless you really want to. For the same amount of work, make some pre-ramps. Then next time, no work.
