Solid body mount question... - Lateral-g Forums

There will definitely be more harmonic transfer changing to solid body mounts. Especially from rubber. New cars aren't a good comparison, they are very well engineered and offer great isolation from harmonics. If it's a cruiser or a car show queen, rubber is the way to go. If you plan on letting it all hang out on a regular basis, Things need firmed up. You can fight the harmonics by using rubber motor mounts, trans, steering coupler, etc.

Thanks for the replies, kinda echoes what I was thinking. This is a driver but all the suspension and drivetrain are rubber insulated so I'm hoping the transfer will be minimal.

So, for those that are running solid body mounts, are you buying them as a kit? Or making your own?

Kit. There are several out there. I think Global West are the cheapest.

Trust me, it is either solid, or rubber. there is no in between! Once you deviate in suspension and power from stock, the rubber bushings need to go.
