[QUOTE="vdubn, post: 16264512, member: 187123"] Thanks guys... slo984now, I think you hit the head on the nail. After looking things over, I think I will install a set of Prothane engine mounts. I think whats in there are the original rubber mounts, and that is probably what is a large part of the vibration. As for the A-Arms, I spoke with AJE today, and found out that those are their first design of A-Arms, and since the car is lowered over 2", I think the failure of the end link tab was due to the fact that no one put shorter end links on the sway bar, and the stock rubber bushings were still on the links. I plan to run shorter links, that will eliminate the twisting of the links in the mount tab, and per AJE, I will open up the hole on the tab to 5/8", from the current 3/8". The hole being just over the size of the link bolts caused it to be too tight, and not allow the link to rotate enough, which is why you see the one tab all bent. Then I will weld some 3/16" plate to the top of the link tab on the A-arm, which will reinforce the tab. Finally, I will replace the Sway bar bushings, as the original cracked rubber ones are also still there. Driving it this morning without a sway bar, amazingly quiet during turns. What are most folks experiences with the prothane motor mounts? They shouldn't be too noisy, right? [/QUOTE]
