I could just take mine off but I'm not 100% sure they're shagged yet.

Its probably that one that fails first and then the extra movement kills the other side Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86855-g6et-finished-for-now/page/61/#findComment-1628602 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy13b Member 16 Member For: 14y 3m 9d Posted 17/01/17 03:10 AM Share Posted 17/01/17 03:10 AM I doubt they would get hot enough to boil the oil inside. Just the heat degrades the rubber and they split/crack and the oil comes out.

They dont always leak but heat dries the rubber and it goes brittle basically turning them from mounts to a solid mount as all rhe vibration transfer through the brittle rubber. Change them as its $60 a pair for bf. Can do it in the driveway with a few tins and 2hrs work max Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86855-g6et-finished-for-now/page/61/#findComment-1628888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
