Default Thanks to Creative Steel

As part of my purchase agreement, I had the dealership put in writing to replace my motor mounts and trans mount.

I bought Creative Steel units because if I was going to replace them, I wanted "the best."

These Motor Mounts are just amazing! Thanks a lot guys, the car feels like new, and I love it!

Also, no affiliation, or commision for this testimonial lol

I installed my mounts and kooks headers at the same time a couple of months ago. What a wonderful difference both of those did!
Now to get the CS diff bushing in....!

I bought the engine and trans mounts, but haven't installed yet...can't wait.

I did replace the diff bushing with their poly unit, along with that poly piece that goes in between the diff and frame bracket...My bushing was totally gone and this nw one made so much of a difference! Not only the clunks just about disappeared, but swear it puts the power down better.

One thing I noticed after putting the diff mount in, is it seemed to make the engine/trans feel tighter and I think why is that I had so much lash in the diff (the rubber was almost gone, as far as the metal insert was allowed to move freely). Still, I can feel some movement in the front and know once those mounts go in, the car will be super tight, like an irish virgin on prom night!

I don't know if it's just my driving style has been a bit more agressive lately, but I have noticed that the "traction control" warning has been coming on a bit more now, and I had never seen it before the new mounts.

Could just be psychological lol It does "feel" as though it's putting down the power a bit more efficiently though with all the slack tightened up and less torsional movement.

im almost 100% sure it did too....... when I put in my motormounts and trans mount from CS I left the shop and had my car sideways..... Usually it wouldnt do that. And I was pretty used to leaving driveways and stuff and I turned onto the road like usual and boom, tires were a little loose and I was sideways. It wasnt anything crazy, but different than how it used to be
