Snub too high

**ricekikr** · 01-20-2016 07:42 PM

Has anyone have their snub mounts sit too high? Snub cup on engine is maxed to highest position and the snub is still resting on the cup.

I cracked the aluminum bracket where the engine mount connects to chassis. That could've mis aligned the radiator thing where the snub mounts. Welded it while waiting for the replacement bracket. Both brackets had the snub in the same position (engine too high / radiator too low)

Other than the snub cup on engine is there any more adjustment that can be done? Or just bend the radiator snub up (tried it without removing the snub, snub just got squished lol) could try using an open wrench to jack up the bracket.

Try separating the subframe front from the plastic front end radiator mount (thingy name name???). I find that it aligns better when I separate the two to get the snub lined up.

Motors mounts are shot and the front of the motor is sitting a bit lower?

There is some vertical play in the front crossmember, which is the black piece that the snub sits on and the stock 1.8T uses to route charge air from turbo to SMIC. You can try adjusting this, but keep in mind if you do you may need to also play with the height adjustment on the bumper shocks.
