[QUOTE="zan, post: 1479615, member: 9632"] 1. Engine mounting needs to be replaced. 2. Front absorber mounting is cracked and need replacement. 3. Left arm need to be replaced. My questions are: i. Do I need to urgently replace my mountings or can it wait for a few months more? And if I do replace them, will I still be able to transplant another engine into my car using the new mountings? [COLOR="Red"]A : depends on when u will do an engine transplant. if soon, then leave it as it is. otherwise, just change the front and rear mountings which are reasonably cheap (between 30-50). excessive vibrations normally comes from these mountings which will tear due to wear. this of course can be corrected by increasing idel speed, but will affect FC though minimal.[/COLOR] ii. Is it advisable to replace juz the front absorber or both front and rear? I'm currently using the stock absorber paired with APM lowered springs.
