Anyone know where to get a Strut Bar to stop my motor from shaking? I remember seeing a triangular one that hooks up where a normal bar would hook up but then it attaches somewhere on the motor then the firewall. TIA

MazdaTrix has one, but then your car itself will vibrate like crazy. If your engine is shaking that much, there is something wrong

are your motor mounts good? If you can move the motor alot when it's not running then they're no good.

my motor doesnt shake that much, just more than on my N/A. Someone was telling me that there would be some benefit in making it stop shaking, this tru?

strut bar will not stop motor from shaking it will help stabalize front end on hard corners and sudden dips in road. engine should be smooth as silk.

Some strut tower braces do include an engine torque brace that will reduce "clutch shudder".



I just replaced my motormounts with upgraded ones from mazdacomp. The engine does not move much at all and there was very little increase in vibrations. Along with the upgraded transmission and differential mounts I installed it give the car a much better feel. Much more direct and solid feeling.
