<\/a>I finally made some time to get an engine side mount prototyped and running in my Viggen to replace the severely violated factory one. It has just a slight bit more vibration at idle cold with ac on (around 9f this morning) The feel during normal driving is improved but it is really noticeable when driving aggressively.
\nThis one was lots easier since I was able to apply all the knowledge gained from the half dozen or so prototypes of the transmission mount. If only saab had used the same bolt spacing on both sides. Next time it is on the dyno I will get some video. I used to be able to snap the throttle and get the exh to hit the floor now it will not. Also the odd torque steer since a drag launch months ago is now gone. The gear changes at full throttle are also much nicer. We should have these for sale soon. It is almost like a new car again.
\n<\/a>After analyzing how the engine and gearbox move under load it was obvious how the upper torque link was making the problem worse. By having both of the front mounts matched it keeps the driveshafts in better alignment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
