Default Motor Mount Insert Install?

Do the Prothane inserts really help wheel hop and ?. Is there any chance than when you remove the motor mount bolt that the engine could drop a tiny bit and not allow the bolt to enter again? This would require jacking up the engine a bit to realign the hole. The install sounds so simple but I had a paranoid thought about the motor sagging with no bolt in place.
Thanks

Default RE: Motor Mount Insert Install?

Here is the thing. They aren't really motor mounts(which I think are on either side). They are engine torque strut mounts. They keep the engine from rocking, but they don't actually hold it up. You may want to put a jack carefully under the engine to make it easier, but the job isn't hard like on cars where you actually replace the "mounts".

BTW - yes, they help. Also, they make the car feel more connected(at the expense of a little more noise), overall, which I like. They don't completely cure it, though. Depends on how far you want to go, for a really big difference, you will want to replace the mounts altogether.
