Have a lil interior vibration left over after replacing the u-joints a week or so back. Prior owner installed a poly transmission bushing and I'm thinking it might be the culprit. Anyone on-board have real world experience going to or from rubber/poly and picking up additional seat of your pantelones vibrations?
:dunno:
I run a poly mount with no vibration issues... I had a vibration, till I corrected the pinion angle....
Changed from broken worn rubber to poly mount and no vibration.
^^^ Thanks both. Thinking some of it might be from the poly-lock motor mount on the driver side as well.
Could be a number of things like trans rear bushing worn , driveshaft angle , bad U joint .
the mount will not create a vibration but you might feel it more with poly .

For sure C/P . . . I see this all the time in the motorcycle world . . .
and I'm not saying that's the case here, but so many people focus on fixing the "symptoms", not realizing that they still haven't addressed the root "problem".

Agree its not the mount but poly could make it more noticeable.
I've never used a poly trans mount and have always preferred rubber. The tail shaft on a transmission isn't exactly the strongest thing, so I have always used rubber to allow it to flex some if needed.
I was always told you shouldn't mix rubber (engine) mounts with Poly (transmission) mounts....same with suspension, you should never mix the two :dunno:
The drivers side motor mount is a poly lock.. passenger is regular rubber. Switching that one motor mount to rubber took quite a bit of vibration down, the new u-joints near eliminated it. Wondering if what's left is "normal" but highlighted by the stiffer mount(s)? Transmission was rebuilt some time back and has maybe 10k miles on it.
