Comp engine mounts of hell
#24
You installed these mounts because your old mounts were broken, right? Could it be that now that the motor is in the correct position, your down-pipe is making contact with the transmission tunnel, or steering shaft? You might have corrected one issue, but created another by getting the motor back into the correct position.
I am in the area of 441 and Oakland Park Blvd. I work in the Opa Locka/Hialeah area though (47th Ave and the Palmetto).

I would refer you to your own signature. I can definitely empathize with that experience.

Thanks for the help though
Good point. The driver side was definitely not in good condition. Which is where I'm getting all the vibration from. The steering column looks clear I'm going to see about the downpipe now.
Damn thats far from me. I'm all the way in west kendall. I'll keep you posted if anything. Thanks
EDIT: You nailed it. The downpipe is in contact with the car. So what are my options besides using a hammer?

Hammer time no worky. At least not where I am now. I barely have any tools here. I'm gonna have to wait till I get back to orlando to try to make space. I managed to get a tiny bit of clearance and it seems to be working for now.
Know of anything that will lowered it by that amount, that would be perfect lol

The metal cups, the ones you're missing. Without them, your engine is currently lowered by about 1/8-1/4". They're fairly thick.
Replace them with washers of the same thickness, or buy some cups from someone parting a car out on the forums.
