Default Tips to avoid squeaky motor mounts.

I am putting together my (poly) motor mounts this evening and I know this is a high friction area. I want to ward off any squeaks from the get go. Anyone have any tips? Maybe some grease or something around the insert? Thanks in advance.

Motor mounts don't rotate like suspension components do, I have never heard of a complaint of squeaky motor mounts.

I agree with him, but to put yourself at ease, you could some of that grease that comes with the energy suspensions poly TA mount

It should be a synthetic grease.

+1 - Never heard of poly motor mounts squeaking. Did mine over 2 years ago and not a peep since. Now LCAs that's a different story -
