View Full Version : Has anyone got some ZD30 engine mounts?

Hey all,
I'm trying to diagnose a bit of a take-off shudder and think my engine mounts might have excessive movement, only catch is that I'm not confident enough to buy new ones...
I'm hoping with all of these ZD30 engine removals/swaps someone might have some kicking around that I can try for a more reasonable price than new.

Well I got some mounts out of a low km 2011 Patrol from a wreckers and fitted them last night, it has transformed the car!
Shake on start up is gone, smoother at idle and all the way through the rev range. I'm rapt!
The old ones weren't broken or physically showing signs of being U/S but its one of the best things I've done to the car!

Nope, obviously my old mounts were stuffed. I reckon there'd be heaps of other Patrols running around with dodgy mounts too.

The old ones didn't feel much different to the newer ones but I assume they are the type with hydraulic fluid inside the mount to assist with damping. I guess the fluid can leak out.
Anyway, just thought I'd post it as reference for others.
