Default Solid motor mount on one side?
Anyone run a solid motor mount on just one side? On my turbo car I keep melting the poly mount above my down pipe. I just got my solids but dont know if I want to use both if I dont have to.

I'm planning on going with both solids, I don't think I have read about anyone with problems. Especially with the UMI gear.

Just wondering do these make the car vibrate like polyurthane trans mounts do?

I did. Two different Camaro's same results. They rattle like crap at 65 + MPH like the whole car is coming apart, or also during hard accelerations. Replaced with a $15 Napa replacement, no more rattling.

I guess to be fair I also relocated my TA off of the Trans so that probably helped. If my 17 year old V8 camaro wasn't vibrating and rattling I'd be a little worried though
