Electric Focus Rear Motor Mount for ST

[sleepin 4.6]

I got a second one as a gift from a friend so I obviously don't need it. Its up for grabs on ebay. Great mount to have for the ST.

Thanks.

How do you like it? I just picked one up on Weds, I'll probably put it in tomorrow.

Kills the wheel hop and you don't have to sacrifice any drivability. Most of the aftermarket ones car vibrations through the car.

One of you guys should post a thread comparing this one to the stock one and showing how to install it.

I can do the how to. I haven't put mine in yet. My fox is in my garage at the moment while I'm chasing down whatever is causing bank1 to command lean...ruling out wiring issues before I yank the injectors.

 

[SID297]

That would be great. Thanks.


I still want to get a project ST for SVTP. Maybe one day.

 

[FISHTAIL]

No problem. I've contributed writeups with photo's to the rpod site (camper) but never to here or another car forum. I'm typically not early enough in the chain to be a meaningful contributor.

I plan on swapping that mount this weekend (probably saturday) so snapping a bunch of pictures then throwing a writeup together will be easy.

If you ever feel the need to throw money at a project car without the initial cost of purchase...I'd be happy to test some exhaust's out :beer: j/k.

Now we just need someone to press redline to get us some hood struts for these things (and the 2011 Explorers). I HATE prop rods.

Weather is supposed to be total garbage this weekend. Not sure if I'll get a chance to swap the mount out or not. I have a friend with a big detached garage...if he has an open bay I might try to knock it out down there.

I had the same issue at ~800 miles, dealer replaced the knock sensor and been good for the past 7000 miles

I think crap weather is getting a bit old for all of us.

No Knock sensors on fox mustangs. I swapped all my injectors, but the problem didn't move. Let the fun begin. I'm sure it's something simple..I just hope I can find it quickly.

Tell me about it. I just froze my tata's off at an auto-x today, and it's snowing outside right now. Enough already...I want my mid 70's.

Oh, and I threw up the DIY yesterday afternoon. It really is pretty simple, I was expecting it to be a little more involved than it was.

Duh, thought you were talking about the ST...I was

Duh dirty thought you were talking about the ST...I was

LOL, no problem. I hope to figure out the fox's issue this weekend, I'm gonna pull the exhaust (again) and make sure I eliminate this exhaust leak. I'm hoping it's causing a false reading on bank2, but we'll see.

That is a very nice piece, but for what I'm doing with the car (Hauling the kiddo back and forth to daycare and driving to work) it's probably overkill. The E-focus mount is only 40 bucks, which doesn't solve all the problems, but it's good enough for me.

If I ever start tracking the car, that mount you have listed there is on the top of my to-do list.
