What is this torsion rubber and will it control the movement of the motor and drivetrain like the urethane? I need to reduce movement and don't mind it I get more vibration. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> 97 Wrangler Sport, 31" BFG All Terrain, .30 over 4.0L w/ Comp cam, P&P Head, Banks Header, Throttle body, chip.

It is obvious you have never driven a vehicle without motor mounts! The stiffer the mounts are the more the vibration dampening is reduced. With solid steel mounts your ride would feel like sitting on your GF's vibrator! The stock ones when in good shape are fine. I see no reason to pay extra for aftermarket ones.

I tend to be pretty hard on the old girl. The mounts I have are OE. 97 Wrangler Sport, 31" BFG All Terrain, .30 over 4.0L w/ Comp cam, P&P Head, Banks Header, Throttle body, chip.

That was 8 or 9 years ago, and haven't had any problems. I'm not sure that motor mounts is the cause of your headers cracking. Usually, that problem is related to having the exhaust system tied solidly to the frame somewhere, rather than having flexible exhaust system mounts. 1977 CJ-7, fiberglass body, AMC 360 w/ headers, DUI ignition, Edelbrock intake and Holley 4150 carb, TF999, Dana 300, 4.56 gears lockers, York air comp, 4" susp lift, 2" body lift, BFG 35" M-T tires, Megashifter, AGR pump & box, REP8000 winch.

It's a problem that plaged the TJ from 97-99. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> 97 Wrangler Sport, 31" BFG All Terrain, .30 over 4.0L w/ Comp cam, P&P Head, Banks Header, Throttle body, chip.
