WTB: Motor Mounts, Drive shaft carrier bearing

[jwm1632]

I need the two lower motor mounts and the drive shaft carrier bearing for my 92 AWD. Does anybody know where i can get these for cheaper then the dealer? I'm located in San Diego. Thanks.

will those fit on the svx?

If you do a search you should find there is 2 ways to answer that Q.
They bolt in, so yes they do fit. I believe they raise the motor a half inch or so, so for them not to do that they require modification. I need to do mine, but haven't yet so I can't give you any personal experience answer on the matter.
You can also buy Group N mounts for around $90 which are upgraded ploy-built-to-last mounts that are for the STI, which also require a little mod to make them fit.

I'm using Stock (non-Group N) mounts from a 2002 WRx and they are fine as well. they did require some modifications, inclduing grinding and adding a small plate.

I have the carrier bearing but not sure how it comes off the Drive shaft? I'll take a look at the onein my basement tonight

I have replaced a lot of mounts but I found this to be a PITA. Looks real easy, but it is hard to push the engine out of the way. I found the best way to be unbolt everything, and rotate the engine the opposite direction to slide the mount out the side.

As far as being taller My groupe N were shorter until I put on the washers. If you grind in the right spots you can make it shorter if your wish. With washers mine ended up looking the same for dimensions.

The modification is easy provided you have washers and a way to cut the holes on the bracket. The holes on the new mount were closer together than on the stock one, I just took a torch to it real quick, threw in the washers and it was ready. It will make installing easier if you grind a bit out the side to fit a socket in to tighten the bolts closest to the oil pan... or try to make the mounts go in the other way (more grinding).
