Default Wevo Engine Mounts wearing out FAST

HI,

I have installed WEVO's with black pillows a few years back, and they are great, but one side seems to be squeezing the pillow out of the top, as if they are WAY over torqued, but I know they are not. Both sides were set to 40lbs about 2 months ago, after noticing that they right side was bad and I replaced both right and left.

During AX this weekend, the car came our of 2nd gear at the same exact spot on the course (a high speed break and turn to the left, which would load up the right side). Thats when I looked at the pullow, and sure enough, its bad again.

Here is the rest of the setup:

PSS9 - The rear right one adjustment **** is a hard to turn when the is on the ground, but "looser" when in the air.

I dont know if both the right and left are set to the same Click on the PSS9, as I need to get car in air to look.

Main question: If the PSS9 are set to soft on one side and hard on other, could this cause additional pressure on one of the engine mounts?

We ran in both directions this weekend, and only the right side is bad

I will order new pillows, but don't think this is solving my problems, just a bandaid.


Any ideas??

maybe your transmission mount is bad allowing enough movement that it is stressing the engine mounts?

a note on keeping the wevos
the wevo mounts are 10mm shorter than stock, so the engine is raised 10mm.
bad idea for an autocross car.
oem or rennline mounts will lower the engine back down.
expensive change, but that 10mm does make a difference.

Rennline solid or semi-solid or either?

I have solid but the rennline adjustable versions look to be the same depth.
