Hey guys,
I got around to installing my Cobb Rear Motor Mount for Fiesta ST (available at ModBargains 714-582-3330 ask for Jurrian) - anyways install was surprisingly fast and easy. You need a 13mm, a short extension, ratchet and hammer.
Just get the car elevated slightly, preferrably level - having four jackstands would be great here.
Anyways - here are my impressions:
Upside: In-gear or any time the car is moving, smooth as glass. Shifts feel more positive, handling is better because the motor's not jumping around the goddamned engine bay and in general, the car just feels "better" somehow.
Downside: While there is no increase in vibration while moving, at idle there is a subtle vibration.
Overall Conclusion:
Thrilled I installed this, even with the increase in vibration ONLY at idle, it makes such an improvement in the car for the rest of the time you're driving it that it's absolutely worth the tradeoff.
I can see why Ford didn't use a stiffer durometer bushing in the roll resistor in the first place but that sloppy bushing really hampers the car.
