Re: is a poly rear mount unnecessary and prop valve questions.

["Chris Chemidlin" <spredhaus@hotmail.com>]

I put 2 new side mounts in the GLI, and it was very smooth and quiet. In 
all of my other cars I had the poly front mount, so when I came across a 
deal for a front and rear poly mount, I went for it. they're in the car 
now, I don't know if I like the rear mount. Its one Giant square of 
urethane... Its a little much. Not too bad when you're moving, but 
certain RPMs and Idle is shake city. Ill prolly put a stocker in the 
back. If your polly front mount doesn't do it, make a chain limiter from 
the rad support to the block. That'll be hardcore.
