Default Check your diff mounts

Hi,

I know we are all on top of geo bushing etc on here. I had the car jacked up a few weeks back checking few things out and noticed two of my diff mounts were perished/torn. Worth having a look. Note I could only see mine were torn with wheels off the ground. With the car weight on the wheels the year is compressed and hidden.

Anyway cause I'm a top bloke I thought I'd pop it on here. Worth a look next time car is up. I changed mine over immediately. Car feels the exact same!!

Mike

I got innovative mounts from tegiwa for £160 for four. Car feels the exact same and lifetime guarantee. Tegiwa were also great to deal with. I use them for a lot of stuff.

Get the street versions and it's just same as stock.

If the car feels the same after....was it worth replacing them?

My mount was torn slightly so needed replaced.

I'd say if you were just upgrading then I wouldn't bother at all mate. If your current Honda ones are torn then worth thinking about rather than OEM.

Mine was only very slightly torn. I just replaced them all as precaution before tearing any more.

The two big rear ones are fluid filled (like the engine mounts) as well so they will starting leak once torn.

That's a hell of a lot cheaper than the Honda ones. Did you replace them yourself?

My standard ones were torn & caused knocking when applied throttle. Had ran them torn for a while before this without issue though.

Ultimately did replace them with the Innovative 75a versions, as the Honda prices were crazy expensive.
