I have been a GM Technician for over 15 years now. Over the years I have seen many parts that could use some improvement. A few of which are the front sway bar bushings and the transmission mount. Well thanks to the people at Energy Suspension there are upgrades available. Today I did a few, here are some pictures.

Umm, your front axles are missing. And why is your truck so clean under there?








Looks good though.

 

Whats the point in doing a tranny mount without doing the engine mounts as well? I know energy suspension doesn't make the motor mounts yet.

 

How are the stock ones bad....?

 

Very nice, I used Energy Suspension bushings on my old 85 Monte Carlo SS, as well as my old 71 Camaro...I was very pleased with the quality and fitment. They're from New Jersey if I'm not mistaken?

*EDIT* Please keep my updated if you end up with any creaking from those sway bar bushings, thanks MrG!

 

Did you just answer your own question?

The Energy Suspension Trans mount is a huge improvement over the stock
piece.

Hey Bud, No noise here, I used a thick silicone lube when installing everything.
And Energy Suspension is my neighbor out here in California. They sponsored the Camaro I built for SEMA and have been quite generous on other projects too.

 

Ahhh, they're in Cali...must be a different suspension co that I'm thinking of that's around here...thanks MrG!

 

I haven't had a front sway bar since I-can't-remember-when

Looks great! And super clean under carriage, I'm a Ford Tech but I refuse to own one, that should tell you something The fact that you've turned wrenches for GM for the better part of two decades and still own one as your personal vehicle says a lot... If you look outside our shop, not a single technician drives a Ford. We all own GM and one weirdo has a Cherokee

 

I don't see how he answered his own question unless you are incenuating you have a set of poly motor mounts. If you do, how about some more info. If not, how about seeing how 'generous' ES will be to make some poly motor mounts for the 99+ GM trucks since you have an inside contact.

 

How new is this transmission mount from ES? I bought one of theirs last year and it didn't fit and their customer service SUCKED when I brought the issue up to them! Unless this is a new and recent design made for our line of trucks, I'm not buying...
