LZY13B build thread

After months of stuffing around changing parts spending around a grand on bushings and changing shocks and going to 4 mechanics I finally found the knocking problem. Passenger side engine mount is completely gone testing it out at the shop the whole motor is moving and I think we really destroyed it testing it out putting load on it haha only got really bad over the last few days but luckily sparebox have them for $120 hopefully it’s not too bad of a job to change and that will hopefully make everything perfect again

If you haven't already bought one I have a used spare you can have for free mate.

Job for the day was passenger side engine mount it was cracked all the way around



Had a little issue with the mount bolting up but sorted it out and feels a lot better on that side now but the drivers side one has been destroyed as well so still have some movement but will have to wait till that one turns up next week

[LZY13B]

Both engine mounts changed thought it was starting to get better but then from cold after 10 minutes of driving I would hear a creaking when I let off the throttle so starting looking today thought I would check the new superpro dogbone mount and I see this.



Only been in the car maybe 3 weeks and it has a nice crack through it. I’m guessing it’s from the other damaged engine mounts but kinda annoying that I’ll have to get another one now the standard one held up like a champ superpro not so much

Unless they tried to press it in with the central sleeve already in place and butchered it before it was fitted? Mines done 80,000km and was driving on a shagged gearbox mount for a while too and looks like the day it went in. That's a bugger man.

Na I installed it myself I think it’s due to my other mounts being broken. Was gonna go with a power flex time but looking online they are sold out so think I’ll just go with another superpro one and hope I don’t have any problems this time

tell the place you got it from and they may give you a refund or replacement. Similar thing happened to a friend of mine and the sent out a new one.

[LZY13B]

Didn’t bother trying to get a refund seeing as my other mounts were broken that might of caused it but just installed a new one today and straight away I can feel a massive difference it doesn’t move now from changing gears and couldn’t hear that creaking noise anymore from just going around the block so far so good so I’ll find out on my trip to work tomorrow.

My old one was cracked at the top and bottom it was ruined so hopefully this one will last longer and if It fails I’m just gonna go back to a standard mount
