so after i put urethane mounts on my 2.2 - my car went insane... the whole interior is shaking; when i look into my mirrors, i see 10 of everything. the car gotten so much noiser too. and the worst part is that the upper mount is still shaking. anybody experienced this before.. what'd you guys suggest?
That's.. uh... normal? I guess we all get used to it in the end
You should try it on a convertible
Cowl shake RULES!

Andrey, when you went to buy them, you should have seen disclaimers of shaking of interior. Also, if you understood what the motor mounts do, you'll understand why your interior shakes.
Having stiffer motor mounts will keep your motor still, now that your motor isn't shaking, it's sending more vibrations to your chassis which results in your interior shaking more but that should only happen when you're idle.

is it as bad in the 2.4?

your top mount shouldn't really be shaking though...
You did leave the stock rubber in there, and only
added the poly right?
To reduce vibrations, you can loosen the nuts on the top of the mount a little.

Vibrations should be the same in every J motor...the only difference I hear is that automatics don't vibrate as much as manuals or vice versa.

That must be vice versa, because I don't think it would be possible for more than my auto (but I had those studs torqued down like crazy, so I dunno)

No vibes from my 2.4, upper only right now, but i do plan on lower, maybe some motors are more balanced than others?

I believe the lower mount is the weaker mount.

autos virbrate with greater intensity and lower frequency because they idle much lower. but the vibration you're experiencing is a little odd... make sure you have the mounts in right. i have the lower mount in my eco right now, and the difference is barely noticable
i have an auto and engine mounts. i hardly notice the vibes anymore. except on cold days
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
^thats how i am and its starting to get cold again
yeah, but once the car warms up they go away

Exactly, that's why I can't stand when people bitch about vibrations...

hah i wish mine went away once the car went away? just to make sure...should the bigger part of the bone be facing the back of the car or is it the other way around? i want to make sure i dont have mine backwards...dont think it is though
Cavalier z24......A poor man's Camaro....close enough, right?
i dont notice the vibs on my body no more but when i look in my mirrors i still see them shaking lol

I installed them last weekend, annoying at first but I don't notice the vibes after a while. The vibes are only there when you start and at idle. Can sound stupid but I like that
Only the mirror shaking is the only thing I don't like about that, but I'll probably try to find a way to get rid of this (rubber or something else).
ah the lower mount has casued my dash to make some weird vibration noises but ah i don't mind i really don't hear them that much because i'm playing music and yeah its only when i first start to pull out....
