Hello,
When I purchased my smart, I went through and replaced a ton of things. Including all 3 of the engine/motor mounts.
I got the lower one from @SmartMadness and the top 2 from a different online supplier (OEM) and installed them following the article on Evilution website. So they were torqued to spec as well.
However I'm getting a thud/clunk upon taking off from a stop. I can also feel the loss of power in between gears so I'm rather sure it's the mounts. It's not bad early in the morning, but as I drive and the weather heats up...it gets worse. Being the top ones are rubber, it makes me think it's the mounts also!
Is there any aftermarket mounts that will fix this? Should I fill them so they're solid?
Thanks in advance.
