Polyurethane replacement top engine torque mount bushing insert for 2005-07 Ford Five Hundred/Freestyle and Mercury Montego.
FINALLY! An upgraded Top Engine Torque Strut Mount insert for these cars!!
Now there is an upgraded Polyurethane Rubber option that will hold the engine in place much better, and have a much longer service life. These are not as hard as a normal "race" polyurethane mount that you may be familiar with. These are made of 70A Shore Hardness polyurethane which is softer than the 80-95A that most polyurethane mounts are made of. The 70A is a happy medium that is more firm than the original mount, but is not so hard that it transfers a lot of engine vibrations into the cabin of the car. Although there may be a slight increase in vibration at certain RPMs, it will be nothing compared to the engine slamming with a worn original style mount.
Here is a a video link showing more details about the bushing, as well as how to replace it.
Made of 70A polyurethane rubber. More durable and crack resistant than OEM rubber. Although polyurethane is still flexible, it is slightly more firm than the factory rubber. This will result in sharper/better handling, but it can also cause a slight increase in vibration transfer.
Lubricating grease is supplied with all bushing orders. All contact surfaces of the new bushings and steel sleeves should be thoroughly lubricated before installation for easier installation, smooth/quiet operation and long bushing life.
Due to the several custom options, nearly all items are made to order. Therefore, there could be up to a 10 business day production time on some orders before they ship.
Please message me if you have any questions about this item fitting your specific vehicle or for any other questions.
Disclaimers
Color. The formulation of polyurethane that I use to make bushings is chosen because of its high physical strength properties. An unfortunate downside of this type of polyurethane is that it can darken or discolor over time. Especially if it is exposed to UV light. This discoloration has no affect on physical properties but it only aesthetic. I highly recommend not leaving the bushings exposed to sunlight before they are installed. Obviously once installed, sunlight exposure isn't much of an issue but darkening may still occur.
Liability. All products sold or manufactured by DRW Bushings are intended for off-road use only. Customer assumes all liability in assuring that parts are installed correctly, maintained, and not modified or altered in any way. DRW Bushings is not responsible or liable for any accidents, injuries, or deaths that may occur from the use of any products offered.
