Body Mounts - Urethane.....

FWIW - I installed the "firmer" Energy Suspension Urethane Body mount set in my Impala about 3 years ago. If I had to do it over I would have tried the "less firm" set.

I have GW Del-a-Lums uppers and lowers in the front. The Currie Rear Lower control Arms and custom Rear Uppers with steel Spherical bearings in the front. The ONLY rubber bushings that remain in the suspension are in the Rear end housing upper mounts.

With the above to "qualify" my statements I will say the Urethane body mounts either induced or caused me to notice quite a few more rattles / squeaks and did increase the SOTP ride firmness / harshness.

They did seem to stiffen up the body but the ride comfort / road noise was affected - more than some folks would be willing to accept.

This might not be a noticeable in a car with all rubber suspension bushings but it was in mine. I would not recommend them for a daily driver.
Previous to that I had done the Mueller Mod: adding the lower cushions to the front six and changing the aft lower; for a daily driver I would stop there.

^^^the less firm set would be the 3.415?

 

[FearTheDeer]

Do we have any feedback from anyone who has run the less firm 3.4145???

 

[Rennick]

I have also heard before that the black bushings are a little quieter than the red? any truth to that?

 

[FearTheDeer]

Maybe we should restart this thread as "Energy Suspension Body Bushings Questions/Answers"

I have a complete set "new" 34136R Energy Suspension Body Bushings. Changed my mind on putting them on my daily driver ..Posting them on For Sale section for $50.00 plus S/H.

I have also heard before that the black bushings are a little quieter than the red? any truth to that?

The black bushings have graphite in them for the coloring so they do tent not to squeak where as the red ones do not contain graphite and are know to squeak
