Poly Trans Bushings

Anyone run the Energy Suspension one?

I had my car on a lift at Topgear in Mesa, AZ and Sean (the owner) noticed mine was broken. We replaced it with a new poly bushing.

Any problems with the poly bushings?

How often do you all break the factory rubber bushing?

My car has 75k on it

The main issue I hear with the poly bushing "mount" is transfer of drivetrain vibration to the car.

I have one and no issues thus far. I imagine the vibrations may increase when I change my motor mounts over as well.

So does the fact that I have an Aluminum DS make there be less vibration?

according to all the research I have done on here and other sites yes.... I even talked to the local drive line go to guy who stated that the alum shaft is always gonna spin out better than the steel one.... I should be able to give my yea or nay soon when i get my ride back together... my vibrations was so bad my tail shaft cracked on the dyno after the second pull.... I mean they said there would be some vibrations and when you install them and you ahve to wait for them to break in....i had never delt with poly mounts before so its kinda hard to gauge whats a lot an break in time.....it dosent help that im really **** and any vibrations to me means the world (motor) is coming to an end so i tried to tuff it out then it went boom.... I replaced the tail shaft and mount and all the vibes went away.... So i bought a alum shaft and a lvl2 PB tranny thats going in soon so my verdict will be in ASAP

I have a APS on my 02 with the engine poly mounts and just installed a tranny poly mount last week. I havent fired her yet but wasnt sure about added noise and vibration so i kept the stock tranny mount just in case .It kinda does make sence about it breaking in alittle too
