Spend the $25 on a poly mount and it will never break again. I went through 4 stock replacements in my 91 z28..everyone knows those things make tons of power

if you're breaking a poly mount on a stock car something is VERY wrong

are you 100% he's actually putting in poly urethane mounts or just rubber ones?

Exactly...I don't see how you can break a poly mount at all.

Define breaking them? Are they ripping into two pieces? It seems like your tail shaft would shatter if you were actually breaking poly mounts...

well once it has broken the tabs off of the side of the mount, and another time the mount was split straight down the middle!?!?! lol, beats me guys?? i guess he'll just have to deal with his tranny slamming into the tunnel when he gets on it!?!

I had the same problem with my stock 96 but I was breaking rubber mounts. I put in the TA relocation kit and haven't had a problem since. still on the rubber mount to. Any ideas why these things break so much? I can understand every now and then but 3 in 2 months? Some people have major problems with this and some don't. Doesn't make sence.
