Torque steer almost gone, shifting is smoother. I got the front and the inserts from BAT and the rear from Ford. FYI: All the nuts and bolts are 15mm Ford dealer did confirm that the rear SVT mount has been discontinued. The SVT is made of aluminum and is lighter as the stock one is made of steel (same as the front, SVT aluminum, stock steel). The rubber insert material on the SVT seemed stiffer but that could be the fact that the stock ones were shot. I have pics of Stock and SVT rear if anyone is interested. 98 Tropic Green Contour 2.5 MTX

ohsigmachi_dup1 CEG\'er O Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 439 Mililani, Hawaii	Quick question: I have a front and rear motor mount here in front of me. The front I got from SPmotorsports and the rear I got from Josh (Pole120), the front is markedly heavier than the rear. Is my front a true SVT alum mount or just a post 98 steel one? any way to tell?

The SVT should be unpainted Alum. If your unsure take a magnet to it. It will not stick to the Alum, plus the front stock one on mine was Black painted steel and it was smooth, the SVT one was bare Alum and had I think 4 raised ribs going around it. I just looked at the Spmotorsports site and the Bat Catalog both places have pics of Stock Steel Replacements, not the SVT Alums Last edited by MaddMike2; 12/19/05 04:14 AM. 98 Tropic Green Contour 2.5 MTX

I don't car what your Ford dealer has to say, they're full of sh!t. Look I did not know about your service till after I had all ready payed for the other mounts. I have no idea what you have seen or what you have not seen. What I do know is what Ford and Bat have listed and what I recieved in the boxes with the Ford part numbers on them. The Front mount: Ford part#F8RZ.6038.EA is the SVT Alum. mount. Ford part#F8RZ.6038.BA is the regular Steel mount. The Rear mount: Ford part#F8RZ.6068.BA is the SVT Alum. mount Ford part#F7RZ.6068.BA is the regular Steel mount. This is the listing for 98.5 and up SVT. I have no idea what Ford has done in the past and I do not really care, all that matters is what I can get when I go to the parts counter and order a part. We all know about mid run changes and production variations. I have no idea how many of the Alum. mounts were used on SVT's. The number of SVT's produced vice the number of normal Contour's produced would be an indicater of how many Alum. vice Steel mounts you would incounter during rebuilding them. I'm sure you have seen more steel, the production number difference would dictate that happening. All I was doing was passing on information so that we would all be more informed. If you disagree with Ford's information that is fine it's a free country. 98 Tropic Green Contour 2.5 MTX

Well said. I too am simply trying to educate the masses, that their SVT will most likely NOT have an AL mount in it. It's NOT just an SVT part as indicated(also something they my need to know). The Al mount is also found on most cougars. What i can tell you is that out of the 75+ mounts i've had in my posession (85% from SVT's ranging through all years) AT BEST 5 of them were AL.
