Guys,
First off, a sincere thanks to all of you who have responded to my
continuing shimmy saga. Per suggestion from many of you folks, I have
since taken another look at the driveline, mounts, etc.
OK...since the last time we spoke, I have put the TR3A back up on stands
and checked out the driveline and...
lo and behold..we've got a couple of broken mounts: one engine mount and
the trans mount are both toast.
So, we need to change all those...
My questions are:
1. where is the best source for new good mounts?
1a. is there a good aftermarket solution/alternative to using these rubber
jobs? or do I want to stay with the stock, rubber setup?
2. What's the easiest way to change 'em out? My thinking was to "unload"
the motor with a shop jack, reach in there and switch 'em - am I right on
this one? or do I need to use an overhead hoist? (which I'll need to
rent...but that's ok)
3. Who's had the pleasure of doing this task? (see question 2) I could use
the coaching here.
Again, the car's owner and I thank you in advance...
Happy Fourth of July
Cheers
Thom Kuby
