No sure where you "heard it" but I haven't seen it with any of the cars I know with them.

I just ordered a set of poly motor mounts from TR.

I'll put them in this weekend.

I believe my stock mounts with 95K on them and 3K drag strip passes are due for a change.

Did you install the bolts to hold the clamshell together so that the nut and washer were on the side closest to the K-member?

Yep, I did! That's what the instructions say to do as well. Install bolt's from bottom side of clamshell (engine/thinner side of clamshell).

I did the drivers side on my 99 with paceshitters and OMG was it a feaking POS! But well worth it. Cleared up some of the paceshitter banging but it seems to be degrading because it is starting to bang more like it did before I changed it to poly. I know the drivers mount was broken; after I drilled it the rubber fell out on its own! Do you think because I didn't do the pasenger side its wearing down the streigth of the drivers side? How hard is the install compared to the passenger side?

I had to remove the altenator, plug&Wires, steering linkage, O2 sensors, and headers. Took couple of days and my hands looked like I put them through a weed eater by the time I finished.

Still worth it though!
