Make your own DIY low cost Polyurethane engine mounts or suspension bushes

My first attempt at casting a Polyurethane moto mount. Great results and saved me hundreds of pounds.
Rear motor bush replaced on a Mitsubishi PHEV outlander.

Brilliant, I didn't know this rubber mix was available. Great repair, will remember it for future.

Hey I like your VW deck lid!

[@stormtrooperste]

I’m impressed I do like your have a go ideas and the fact you leave the fails in as we all make them. I’m sure they make mounting bushes to fail and not last. Great job.👍

[@vintagesteelgarage]

Thanks for great feedback. Mistakes are how we all learn.

[@marticon9286]

Thanks buddy you just saved me making the exact same mistake ordering the plastic version not rubber!👍

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Great, nothing like a close up look at a nice bush. Third chapter book of exodus

[@TheDervMan]

Wow, I had no idea that you could get this stuff 👍🏻

[@vintagesteelgarage]

Me too. I thought it was a hot pour rubber. Not a chemical mix and go.

im replacing rubber suspension bushes on 1949 chrysler yank tank... cant go back to 1949 to get parts... will give this a try

[@vintagesteelgarage]

@@MrRasZee yes idea for that application. Bear in mind you can get different hardness rates. Better still plastic print your molds

Good job !! I made a few when working on my old MX5 a few years ago. Might try it again for the CLK suspension parts ? Ive heard some use a 3M polyurethane product, tiger seal, easy just to squeeze it from the tube, no mess !!

[@vintagesteelgarage]

Yes seen some videos using tiger seal.

[@arnietwo11]

@@vintagesteelgarage think it might be worth just squeezing in some tiger seal into those air spaces on some of those susp pieces ?

[@Acece665]

Great vid! Thanks!

[@vintagesteelgarage]

Thankyou

[@Anadinolin]

I might do this for my rear engine mount, I cannot find one of the same style for love nor money!

[@vintagesteelgarage]

I was surprised how simple it was to do. Just mix and pour.

[@mkay1807]

I think you're suppose to put it in an oven for few hours for it to fully cure.

[@vintagesteelgarage]

It didn't say so on the instructions and its rubber. But I'll look into that.

[@DomX2008]

How many miles have you done now? Any signs of wear or separation from the collar?

[@vintagesteelgarage]

Done about 15k miles and no problems so far. Very impressed.

[@greasyHands66]

Did it hold well enough?

[@vintagesteelgarage]

Yes done about 10000 miles so far

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Tidy bench that must be a first. Now you just have to tidy up your toolbox

[@vintagesteelgarage]

Bench tidy, because I pushed it all on the floor.

[@nas979]

Wow, impressive, this is exactly what I was looking for, it's been 11 months since you did this, how many miles have you done on that fix? Would you still recommend it? I have a 3.5ton suv, would this fix be any good for the control arm bushings?

[@vintagesteelgarage]

Yes it's worked well and not failed as yet. Probably done about 16k miles since done. It's surprised me how well it's lasted. Yes would be good for control arms bushes.

[@Xavior12]

How well has it held up?

[@vintagesteelgarage]

Done about 15000 miles. Still OK but I think maybe a little movement just started. Going or do a follow up video soon. Either way still a good result. I've heated the mitsubishi replacements only last a few years.

[@TheRyanpeel]

Hey, mate, do you know off hand what product this might be equivalent to in the States on Amazon? I see some of the product you used but all in like gallon size and it's super expensive. Thanks!

[@dustintaylor4076]
