0611 01 Z Energy Mounts And Ingalls Torque Damper
01.This is what I assume went into Nads' RSX: Four bushings courtesy of Energy Suspension and an engine damper from Ingalls along with two brackets.
0611 02 Z Energy Mounts And Ingalls Torque Damper No Subframe
02. Notice something missing? That's right, astute readers, the subframe is gone along with the bolts that held the sway bars in place. Remove necessary bolts holding down the subframe 'til your car looks something like this.
0611 03 Z Energy Mounts And Ingalls Torque Damper Loosen Mount
03. Remove the sway bar and look for what appears to be a transmission mount. Loosen all nuts and bolts 'til you get the mount free.
0611 04 Z Energy Suspension Mounts Old Bushing
04. Like magic? Well here's a David Blaine moment for you. Don't blink! Now you see a black rubber bushing...
0611 05 Z Energy Suspension Mounts New Bushing
05. ...And voila! The dirty old bushing gave way to a polyurethane one from Energy Suspension! But wait there's more!
0611 06 Z Energy Suspension Mounts Bushing Mounted
06. Abracadabra, and this mysterious mount has also transformed into a red Energy Suspension one. And now for the finale (cue smoke and drumroll).
