Rear Engine Mount...

[gmg]

Hi all,

Changed rear engine mount, garage pressed in a new bush and now steering wheel vibrates at idle?
So rather than the engine attempting to rip itself from its mountings each time I turned if off it I trying to vibrate itself to bits whilst idling ! Bloody Shitroens...got to love it but Japanese it aint!

Sounds like something aint been fitted right or is under strain causing the vibration.

Was it assembled & mounted correctly?Cheap pattern part?
just my idle thoughts.

Had the same with mine after changing to a polybush. If you used a standard mount it will quieten down.

Wish I read this post 30 mins ago before I changed the upper mount which has made zero difference to the vibration! I used a part from Eurocarparts part but a bush is a bush is a bush...do they need to be pressed in a particular orientation? Will it 'bed in'?

A bush is not a bush if it's cheap crap.Orientation is important when fitting bushes,mostly the hollows are horizontal but not always.
