Small Gap in Lower Torque Mount Bush

[Breandawg]

What do we think folks? That's as far as I can get the black sleeve to sit inside the purple bush, leaving a small gap.

Negligible? Or should I look to get it pressed in.

What kind of tools do you have at your disposal? C-clamp? Any large bolts or anything to put through and cinch down?

No C-clamp, I had the bright idea to use a large bolt from a caliper rewind kit but sadly the diameter of the hole in the torque mount is too small.

I have an hydraulic lift... I could try levering upwards against something low and heavy, like the subframe on the car perhaps.

It's a very small gap...but just knowing it isn't flush would bug me!

Not sure about that motor mount, but if you have to reuse the black bracket, it sits on the other side of the purple bushing (right side in picture) and there should be a little bit of sleeve on the other side.

If it needs the bracket, you could potentially install it and keep your eye on the sleeve to make sure it's sliding further into the bushing. Just be careful not to ruin the purple bushing
