Powerflex Front Lower Engine Mount - EVO 8/9

Product Description

The bushing is made from polyurethane as opposed to the OEM rubber bushing material which is much softer. The kit comes supplied with a specific stainless steel sleeve and a packet of copper grease/anti-seize. It is a direct replacement for the soft OEM front mount bushing and fits with absolutely no modification. Installation takes about 20 minutes. The most difficult part is removing the factory bushing from the mount which basically needs destroying to get it out, but once accomplished, the Powerflex bushing fits in easily. After installation you should notice an immediate improvement in shifter feel and on/off throttle vehicle response due to significantly reduced front-to-back movement of the engine under on/off throttle conditions.

The car should seem to "buck" less under light throttle cruising, and much less engine movement during the disengagement of the clutch under light throttle. There is a very slight amount of increased vibration at idle only, which is to be expected, however this additional vibration is only felt through the steering wheel to the driver, your passengers would never know that you changed anything if you didn't tell them what you did. This vibration is so minor that it would not be worth mentioning it but I am sure that many owners would ask the question before committing to this install. It is also usual for this initial increase in vibration will go away after a short period of time (a couple weeks) once the bushing settles in.

Fits: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII/IX and MR (6 speed).

Installation Rating: Easy : 30 Minutes or less
