Thanks for all the response I had carbs sync about 4-6 months ago and I regularly remove the front mount and lube it with hi-temp grease. I am taking it to randy next week I might need to pull the engine and check the rears.

Save yourself some work

I am defiantly going to install that

I have a question, why is that mount, the inner piece, made of aluminum when all the other front mounts are of rubber. [84-1100]

Randy at RPM is working on a kit for the 84 to 87 years to upgrade to rubber mount.... I want one...

Me too.

Randy installed a prototype rubber bushing kit in my '84 when he did my (excellent) engine work.

You really really really want this kit. Really.

IIRC, the factory beefed up the frame when they went to the rubber engine mounts, because it was originally designed to have a solidly-mounted engine, which provides some stiffness to the frame.... I'm not completely sure the change will be a good one, long-term.

One could always weld on some extra steel to act as stiffeners if one knew where to put the extra metal.  Kawasaki used to do that to Kawa 500 Baja 1000 frames to strengthen them.

I've already done that to my FJ.
