Boomba Racing Rear Motor Mount/ Torque Damper.

I had a tracking number 6 minutes after I ordered too, that’s crazy.

I hate to burst your bubble, but that tracking stuff is usually automated. I ordered some parts a few weeks ago, got a tracking number within minutes, then get an e-mail that one of the parts is out of stock. Fast forward 2 weeks, after numerous e-mails, I finally get my stuff. I hope that doesn’t happen to you though.

But that’s a cool looking part. Engineering and manufacturing look great.

Wat does this do? Like actually Im interested, I don't like being clueless on car things.

Oh well, I know it’s in stock and most people get them within 3 business days of ordering, I’m not too concerned.

And yeah, there’s a lot of lower cost versions of this part, but this one is the best, with molded in bushings and being a 2pc vs. the ususal one.

Nope. Motor mounts fix that? Never knew.

Yeah the Focus ST ones are a little soft for what the car is (Ford did it so the car would be a bit more comfortable, they’re in the business to sell cars so I can understand the middle of the road approach.) and when you gun it the engine rocks back on the mount and the movement gives it wheelhop. This has stronger bushings and is also lighter.

I got my motor mounts replaced for free under warranty, there is a TSB for this issue.

Yeah my car has that mount from the factory, same mount being a later build. They still wheelhop.

Nice - that is pretty. Speed 3’s have the same issue.
