Whoosh Rear Motor Mount Installation - Fiesta ST

[@Ape1X0]

I was just notified that mine was delivered but I’ve got almost an hour of work left so I’m getting reeeeeeal antsy. Can’t wait to pop this thing on. Thanks for the video. Doesn’t seem TOO too complicated.

How is it? I just ordered a race spec. Street spec was sold out.

I tried to swap mine today and that bracket absolutely would not let go of the downpipe. But now that i see that those aren't washers on that plate, i'm wondering if they're just siezed together.

[@TheMultigamer2013]

So iv got that loud clunky noise everyone is talking about when shifting from 1st to 2nd. Happens most of the time but on very rare occasions the clunk wont be loud enough for me to even hear it. Will this fix that?

[@gapperformance]

TheMultiGamer absolutely. That clunk is the motor bumping into your firewall. The stock rear motor mount was designed for a non-turbo fiesta and can’t handle the aggression of the ST. I went with whoosh for their awesome customer service and this was the cheapest mount I could find with good quality.

@@gapperformance good to know. Thank you

[@masonprice8921]

@@gapperformance its just the mount hitting against the subframe not the firewall. its still annoying tho

Super informative, thank you! about how long was the install time?

[@gapperformance]

Maybe 20-30 minutes including jacking the car up and tossing it on stands. Super easy

@@gapperformance awesome! I just got mine in today to put on my 16’ so I’m thinking I’ll just knock it out tomorrow night or maybe Saturday while I’m doing my intercooler

[@gapperformance]

@@baxty8126 awesome! Yeah it helps a lot. What Intercooler are you installing?

[@usemoreoil]

I have slight knocking between hear change and if I dab the accelerator I hear a knock, could that be this

[@gapperformance]

Yes 100% it’s your rear motor mount! I’d grab one of these street specs if it’s your daily for sure

[@usemoreoil]

@@gapperformance thanks!

[@SmDWeed]

Do you notice any vibration? I get a lot while driving even my mirrors start shaking. Do you know what I could've possibly done wrong?

[@gapperformance]

Yes lots of vibration at first! Thought I installed it wrong but it just takes a little time to wear in. The street spec wasn’t too bad but the track spec was pretty rough. My big turbo wore it in within a couple weeks, but the first week was solid as heck

[@SmDWeed]

@@gapperformance thanks for your reply, quite a relieve haha. I have the street spec one and I can't imagine what the track spec would be like!

[@mdzali]

I installed mine today and noticed no significant vibration. Others claim, sometimes the car rattles and shakes a lot. Not in my case.

[@gapperformance]

They definitely seem to have updated the design. I bought new bushings and they weren’t tough at all, thanks for commenting!

[@SmDWeed]

@@gapperformance oh wow, got to check it out then! What was the reason you tried another one if you don't mind me asking.. did the previous one break? And did you only buy the bushings or the entire mount?

[@MrWEastwood]

Are you happy with the street spec one or do you wish you went with race spex

[@gapperformance]

So far I’m enjoying the street spec and have zero regrets. I drive at least an hour of day with some spirited driving mixed in and it’s been holding up great. They sell replacement bushings for $30 so even if they wear out I’ll just toss new bushings in and be good for a few more years.
