OE?

Post by Peetee »

I'm having a lot of trouble with my engine mounts at the mo. From comments OE ones seem to be better. Are these original equipment?

The main issue with the modern replacements is that the rubber is too hard transmitting a certain amout of vibration so as long as these are N.O.S. there should not be a problem.
I was lucky a while ago to unearth some Leyland ones which I snapped up and Willie had some which sorted out similar problems he was suffering from.
The problem with the rubber now used on the mounts is completly the opposite of the suspension bushes which are too soft if only the original spec was available.
