Yes, this also was a big pain in the ***..

Expect this to take 2-3 hours, not 30 mins. for a full install lol

What i did was thread in the crossmember then try and get the bolt in the mount. after you do you can tighten the rest.

 

Cool thanks I'm going to try that right now.

 

no luck.

 

resolved. remove any body stress before attempting to install the mount. it finally worked after i lowered and leveled the car. i put the mount bolt through and was able to get the cross member bolts to thread in. i didn't use the bushing i made (the one that avid never sent me). thanks again for the help evom guys.

 

The stock front mount steel bushing has a hole that is not a tight slip fit with the bolt - it is way big, a very loose fit, it looks like the diameter of the avid hole. The Mitsubishi engineers must have had a good reason - if that is what they designed, personally I'd stay with it, the clearance might be necessary under some operating conditions.

 

the longer bolts go where the spacer goes. as for the front mount, i didnt installed the spacer with the mount, but mine went in no problem.

 

GREAT mounts btw... love them...

 

Why did you bump this thread exactly?

I just got a new set of these mounts. I hope I do not run into this problem. If so, I guess I will be referring back to this thread

 

just ordered a 6spd set, how long does shipping take? i hear bad things from avid only after i ordered my set lol

 

I am having issues with stock front bolts for front mount they are not long enough to go along with the trans mount is it the same bolt size just going to get at home depot allen key type for a flush look like the torque solution which so far I like better
