There is no poll fyi.

But i still have the stock mount and very disappointed, especially when ford already had something in there arsenal to beef it up some. I realize there is always a learning curve with first gen type stuff, but still.

 

Important poll? Important to who, you?

And yeah no poll LOL

 

Really disappointed... I always feel like I have to hold back driving this car which is sad for a sport car. I'm still waiting on the TSB parts and hope it will solve my bang + wheel hop issue. If not, I'll probably pull the trigger on the CP-e 2 piece RMM o

 

Replacing the lower motor mount made a BIG difference in not only reducing the bang, but also decreasing wheel hop and made shifting a lot better. I went with the less expensive option of a Powerflex insert that was designed for the 2010 Focus RS, but it's the same as ours and works great.

 

Where is the "I only have the problem in first and second if I try and I am on crappy roads. These mounts blow but they're not defective in any way and is not a safety issue, so I will wait patiently for parts to arrive" option?

 

I agree... I probably won't bother pushing for a warranty repair on these. The problem really only presents itself if I punch it from a dead stop or REEALLLLY wind out second gear. Should I ever decide to start autocross racing or something like that a new motor mount would be the first on my list of improvements.

 

Ford already knows about the problem, hence the TSB.... What is this thread going to prove that the other billion posts and threads don't lol?

 

To my knowledge, there has not been a poll where members have been invited to document their dis-satisfaction with this defective part. I am sorry you as a member of the Class don't seem to get the point. Thank you for your contributions.

 

The poll doesn't have my option.

Stock mounts were crap, a big problem, and I bought and replaced the rear and passenger side mounts with the TSB mounts on my own, and the car is fine now.

 

My local dealer has placed an order for me and said it should be in October, however that probably means next year....hopefully not though. My local dealer's been pretty good to me so far, seem trustworthy enough so we'll see.

 

Dealer ordered the parts in June (is that right?) and they all came in a couple weeks ago, but while we were talking he realized that a part was missing. I think someone took it and used it for another car. I have already replaced the RMM with one from the electric Focus so it's not as bad but it needs more work. I may do the tranny mount myself soon.

 

Just joined the group of patiently waiting today.

 

Or not so patiently!

 

Picked my car up in January 2013, replaced the stock lower mount in February 2013 with the FSWerks unit. I will not be bothering with the TSB.

 

I'm not even going to bother calling my dealer. Will be getting an after market RMM as my first mod most likely.

 

People should actually read whats in the TSB. It's not just a RMM, so buying an aftermarket is not equivilant to the TSB. According to the people on this forum who have had the TSB done, they are very happy and there are many who have ditched their aftermarket RMM in lieu of the replaced unit. Mine is on order so I can only allude to those who have posted about their replacements.

 

No endorsement of a particular vendor is intended.

I rode in the Steeda Focus ST the other day, and one thing I have not seen mention was the additional control of front end lift under acceleration that their mounts provide. I assume any vendors aftermarket parts provide this as well. My stock ST seems like the mounts are shot and the front lifts what feels like a foot when the boost kicks in.

 

Does the TSB RMM offer the same results as an aftermarket RMM? Because that would be money saved lol

 

The eFocus mount is a huge improvement over stock, and doesn't increase NVH. It's not as solid as some after market mounts, but is still very effective. The passenger side upper mount is as much of a joke as the stock rear mount. I replaced both with the ones from the TSB (eFocus and revised upper) - it helped a great deal and I can't get the car to bang anymore.

 

Switched to the e-focus lower last October and TTR side mount last February...no problems since.

 

I have had the TSB completed and it seems to be a 100% success. I have not had the bang since.

 

This poll should have included us who have replaced just the RMM and are happy now. I myself have never had the bang, then again I replaced the RMM within the first 3 weeks knowing about the MM issue.

 

^^^ Agree. I replaced the RMM with an aftermarket part before the TSB was released, am happy with the results, and have never went in to get the TSB work done.

 

Over 600 views but less than 75 votes. Are there that many visitors who don't on an ST?

 

i am waiting on the TSb to be done...parts arent in until late October "huge maybe"....my car bangs hard...i want to drive this car hard at times and wont due to this bang...Ive been waiting since July.

Isnt the tsb replace the clutch cable too? For those that have changed the rmm, umm, and trans mount, there was no need for the clutch cable parts?

I have no faith in the techs down here at the ford dealerships and i am pretty close to just ordering my own mounts....probably going to go with steeda. But would this affect our warranty?

Anyhow, i am dissappointed with ford taking so long to get these parts in...i have told cuistomer service that i'd like to just buy my own mounts but they said it would void my warranty which i think is a crock of sh*t!

 

If reading on Mobil devices with the app it is not possible to participate in polls AFAIK.

 

Having had the TSB done for almost a couple of months now, I have no complaints! No bang and the car seems much more connected. The aftermarket mounts are great, but most do say that they do add NVH where the mounts used on the TSB do not.

 

The TSB mounts do add extra NVH, maybe not quite as many as the aftermarket ones but being stiffer under certain conditions while idling or moving slowly I can feel the vibrations more strongly.

 

Not in my car they don't, and believe me I am so anal I would have noticed! :wink:

 

Must just be my car or commute then I guess. It's not violent like I've hear the aftermarket ones to be but the vibration when at idle particularly over a certain over pass on the way to work in the morning or when first starting off seems harsher than stock. Most of the time I'd agree though that there isn't too much extra NVH, but occasionally it seems to rear its head on my car now after the mount change. I can't say I recall feeling that in the first 6000 or so miles as much as I did after the TSB mounts went it.

 

Firewall engine slam and major wheel hopping if I get on in it. And I do get on it. I didn't buy a hot hatch to drive it like my grandmother (and she's dead).

 

I'm going that aftermarket route myself... they're cheap enough and I can do the mod at my convenience. With the TSB route, the dealer has to verify the problem first (one appointment with someone else beating on my car) and then another appointment to install it (and most likely another beating). If someone's going to beat on my car, I'd rather it be me. :big smile:

 

I talked them out of them beating on my car, or having me show them, took a little while but they agreed no safe area around the dealership for such a test.
