Fiesta ST Passenger Side Motor Mount

I started to hear the dreaded rattling and creaking in reverse and at low speed. After some research I found it’s usually the passenger side motor mount. Happy I went with Damond. Well packaged, part is beautiful, and the instructions were some of the best I’ve used. After the install there is no more creaking, less engine movement, and very little NVH with the 70 durometer. Buy this part, you wont be disappointed.

I bought both the passenger and rear motor mounts in the street format and, in my opinion, suit the car really well (Damond rear replaced a used Mountune one). Throttle response improved which was immediately noticeable, and shifts felt like butter. You get what you pay for and these mounts prove it undeniably. I would highly recommend!

Installed the front motor mount on my fiesta St, and works a treat. Completely killed off the clunk noise I was getting under shifting using the stock mount. The noise in the cabin is a tiny bit louder as you'd expect from a stiffer mount. But not uncomfortable using the street bushes. Installs quickly and easily. Only concern is the design looks less sturdy than the original, 2 out of 3 bolts to the chassis (one failing would be baaaad) and the fabrication is a little rough with a lot of welding.

Ok here is the deal this concept is great. The design is well thought out and it does what its supposed to do. Things I would change and I do have experience in engine and trans mounts on RWD cars. First off the base of the mount is a bit on the heavy side of things. It also could be tied into the third bolt hole for the stock mount which the current base is not. Whether or not that really has an overall effect on possible lateral movement ? Who knows it would take detailed tests to find out.

I think with a little thought it could be made lighter though. Also the top of the mount could be made of a block of CNC’d aluminum and come in a lot a lighter with no welds( which were a bit sloppy) Considering the fact the factory mount for the car the top is machined cast aluminum. Do not get me wrong the mount works great and does its job superbly. Their is a bit of NVH if you run Air. Without its negligible at best. In that sense its quite livable. It eliminated a lot of TQ steer with my S280 on my pump gas tune. With the E30 tune I have a bit but nothing compared to the failing Powerflex insert it replaced. lol Time for LSD! hahahahaha
I do like it even with these thoughts and critiques. No one else on the market looked at the mount and took this approach with engine and Torque dynamics like these guys did.

This thing is solid.. beautifully manufactured and aesthetically selectable. Does it’s job wonderfully. Quite an increase in NVH but that’s to be expected. Was an easy install and had perfect instructions with all the details you need including torque specs etc. I was in a bind when I ordered this, my stock mount was broken and Damond came through with LIGHTNING fast accommodations and even made a point to get me the right color bushing while not even stocked. They made it happen! I can’t stress how incredible this company is. I love supporting Damond because they take care of their customers, no holds bar. Excellent piece and excellent company. Look no further. Car feels much more planted, acceleration better, traction better, and somehow my exhaust actually sounds better with it installed. Win win.
