The engine of the Scion tC is supported by 4 engine mounts.
The transmission end and timing belt end mounts are there to support the full
weight of the drive train, while the front and rear mounts control the torque
produced by the engine. With age, heat, and possibly a little more power than
Toyota intended, these front and rear mounts can deteriorate and allow the
engine to move too much under acceleration and engine braking. A hard launch can
lurch the engine back and forth violently, and reduce the amount of power
actually transmitted to the ground.
The Speed-Source Polyurethane Engine Mount Kit is engineered to replace the
stock rubber front and rear mounts with solid polyurethane. Inside the kit, a
steel insert keeps the poly mounts centered and locates the thru-bolt.
Additionally, due to the design of the front engine mount - we have also
engineered a full replacement bracket for the front mount, which comes welded,
coated, assembled and ready to install in your tC! The bracket is precision
fabricated for a clean, OEM, look.
Included in the kit are 4 polyurethane bushings (two for the rear mount, two for
the front mount - already inserted into our bracket), 2 metal inserts, and fully
illustrated installation instructions. These mounts will fully replace the old
rubber and metal mounts, not merely fill the holes in them. The polyurethane
mounts are commercially formulated, poured, and post-cured, and the metal
inserts are zinc-dichromate plated for corrosion resistance...
These mounts are designed to give years of trouble free service. In our testing,
this formulation of polyurethane will transmit some vibrations into the cabin,
most evident at idle, but lots and lots of torque control so you can really take
advantage of all the horsepower your Scion tC is making!
