hey so im ready to go ahaead and order an apr snub mount for my audi. i have a few questions. anything i need to know when installing this? it just replaces the stock driver side front motor mount rite? any other mounts i can replace for $60 or less to reduce slop or is that about it? just want to know better what im getting myself into lol. thanks guys in advance

i did search btw and didnt find answers on my Q specifically

 

The snub mount is separate from the other two motor mounts. If I may make a recommendation, I've read that the APR mount can be a bit harsh and noisy. I have a Stern snub mount and I love it. Plus its like $30. They sell all kinds of Stern mounts here:

PURE Motorsport, LLC : Quattro

I've only heard good things about Stern's stuff and there's plenty to be had there for under $60.

As for the install, Google for DIY's. Some people have to go so far as to put the car in the service position, others manage to do it without.

 

thanks that helps alot ill prob go with the stern since im a stickler but they are on back order for now so ill have to wait lol

 

Forgot to mention, there's a little lip on the inside diameter of the Stern piece. You might have to trim it a little to get it over the stud thingy on the IC hard pipe. Prolly doesn't make much sense as I describe it, but you'll see what I mean when you get in there.

 

yea i found a DIY that mentions it. also i looked at my car and i completely understand what it is im buying now, lol i thought it was a motor mount, but its really just a bushing to absorb shock in the linear line of engine to drivetrain. gotcha lol

 

Might as well do the side mounts too if you're pulling the front bumper assembly to get at the snub.

If you replace the side motor mounts (~$45 each), make sure you have a 13mm "stubby" box wrench. The passenger side mount top nut is a biatch to access without a shortened wrench

 

mine are actually in really good shape, so i prob wont replace them. cause i dont wand a $30 improvement to become a $120 binge in total. if that makes sense

 

Sounds good. I just did my passenger motor mount and kicked myself for not doing it when I changed the snub four months ago.

My passenger motor mount had a crack in it -- completely failed.

 

Ill look mine over good, i just dont have at that cash at the moment, otherwise i would replace my throttle body too

 

Be careful slipping the mount on, I wasn't and caught my finger between it and the bracket, hurt like a bastard. I can also vouch for the stern, no extra vibrations and I can definitely feel a difference.
