Knocking sound on driver's side
 

So I installed my JBR chrome Molly the other day and I absolutely love it. Race car all day. But after 2 days I started noticing a slight problem. My car only has 5,000 miles on it, but the RMM started creating random knocking noises when I clutch into first to get rolling? Only if I don't rev high. If I rev over 2500k then it's smooth. But anything lower I get knocking noises under my feet...? Happens in reverse too. Andy ideas what it could be? (sorry if this has been asked)

Have you actually gotten under the car to check the mount? Post-Install

check the mount bro

My car was on an actual lift 6 foot off the ground when I installed it. Haven't had the chance to check it out again, its only been installed for about a week now. A buddy of mine (shopety) is coming in town this week and we are gunna check it out. I just didn't know if anyone else has heard of or experienced this problem before? Funny thing is that after only 4,500 miles my OEM motor mount was ripped. (discovered this when I took it off)

Did you torque it to spec, and use Loctite?

Re-torque to 70 ft/lbs. and as @Raider said, use loctite.

The only thing mine did was create a squeaking chatter intermittently.

Put a little MAN on to her when you tighten it....prob solved

Good call to the both of y'all, thanks I'll have to try that out this weekend, I'll give feedback on this post after I do that this weekend to see if it solves the problem

@shopety2012, put your fucking dick beaters on this little girl's car and handle this.

He is gunna help me, I just said that

I had something similar happen after 5,000 miles with the mounts installed. The Horizontal bolt was a little loose so I torqued it down with a breaker bar and my shifter became a lot smoother and quieter than before. The other bolts I left a t 70 lbs.

Whiney little faggot, aren't you?

If he was going to come fix it, then why even fucking post?

If you did not torque it to spec, nor use the Loctite, then you can kiss warranty goodbye.

Yeah see that's what I'm thinking my problem is. I didn't use loctite in the first place so that was my fault for being a dumbass haha. Besides that small problem, the mount is fantastic. Once I get going that knock goes away entirely. It's mainly when slowly feather into gear, rather than just starting fast. Pretty much like when I'm pulling up into the incline on my driveway is when it's the worst

I read that in a british accent and shit my pants laughing.

@DylanFYHN, suck a cock
@Jonny Quest can join you.

Yes, I'll suck a big one for you

Fixed.

I bet your bolt has backed out since initial install. Same happened to mine. Retourqued it to spec 2 weeks after initial install.... Problem solved

Str8 Triple Tapped

Yeah that's what I meant, thanks!

So, I'm sitting here taking a shit reading this retardedly stupid thread. I'm ready to wipe my ass, so i set down the phone with intentions of telling you that i am dumber for having read this bullshit.

while wiping my ass, i got a little shit on my thumb. It's like i forgot how to wipe my ass.

This thread made me so dumb i can't even effectively wipe my ass without getting shit on myself.

And i blame you...

Probably sent from a toilet

Bigger question who in the fuck let @DylanFYHN back on? @Raider are you responsible for this?!?!


Tapatalk LIKE A BOSS!

He served his week ban. He pm'd me and apologized for posting.

Well hes still being retarded as before.

Honestly who continues to drive their car with a motor mount issue. U should of checked that the first night it started happening. And dont give this i dont have time bull shit. If u have time to mod ur car, u need to make time for ur fuck ups. :fuckyou:

I'll just leave this here Bolt Torque: What Is It?

Take that bolt out. Throw it in the trash and go buy a new one. You have done one of two things
Fucked its couch or got really lucky and hit between 70 and 90.
Breaker bar is pretty vague but what I consider a breaker bar tight is some place around 180-240 tq.
I'm not trying to come off as a dick. I'd just hate to see a over stretched bolt fail on you.

Well I was only able to tighten it about a quarter of a turn or so. My breaker bar is too long to turn more than an 1/8 of a turn before it hits the ground. I doubt I could get more than 90 lbs of torque while on my back with a breaker bar in one hand and an open end wrench in the other.

Ok, so OP has been keeping me up to date since we left his cornhole gaping.

He is trying to not get killed. He did check and bolts were tight, getting it back on a lift and re-torquing this weekend to make sure. If RMM is ok, then I am leaning to torn trans mount or passenger mount.

Or there is a midget trolling him. Hmm, maybe that's where gremlins come from. Sorry for not being helpful, I saw 3 midgets on Razor scooters fly pass me at Lowes during my lunch break and it freaked me out.

Tell him to remove the bolt that goes through the bracket that attaches to the motor.

We had the same exact problem with a car here at the shop and that bolt was tight but it was getting bound up causing the mount to shift and what not. Tell him to remove and put it back it and it should fix the issue

I finally had to take mine up to 100 ft/lbs after failing 3 times. Hasn't budged since.

I think I did 90 on mine with enough Loctite to make it look like a used tampon.

So I got it up on the lift this past weekend to retorque the bolts and loctite them also. Dropped her down and gave her a drive (sounds naughty), no knocking whatsoever. Seemed to have fixed the problem so far. So I waited a few days to post to make sure it stayed the same and it's still going A Ok! Thanks for all the help and tips guys, I appreciate it

Glad it's fixed.

Now, about those pics....

I will gladly let you come to my house and take them yourself lol. I love you raider, but I'd rather not throw up on myself O_O
If your patient to wait till my girlfriends turns 18, then I'll post some good stuff!

51 year old mom boobs will suffice. @shopety2012, get to work.

thats a long as way to go for some old tits :crucified:

That's what I'm saying! But hey, anyone one of y'all are welcome to come try! (not being a smartass)

@tooslow10 is closer though (;

This is all not my problem. None of it. Just get the job done (in a Paul Sr. voice from American Chopper).

with a mustache, like a sir

i see what u did there @shopety2012...
nicely played....lol
