Urethane Mounts

Urethane mounts are great for suspension and engine tranny but when used to the body/frame interface they transfer a huge amount of NVH and also fatigue the sheet metal rapidly .

Do this with caution, few like the results and the off roaders discover torn floors before long .

Added poly cab mounts to a 69 C10 around 1995. My son has the truck now, and we've never had a problem that I know of. However, the floor is rust-free and it's got pretty smooth suspension. But maybe I should check it next time I visit him.

What's funny is I had installed real GM bushings, and they were already cracking and sagging after 3-4 years. Maybe they were VOS (very old stock).
