Drove an hour to my parents to do this mod just as it was about to get dark and i finished it in an hour i was so hyped to get it on XD Thank you so much for the tutorial love from texas!
Just installed this on my 2016 FoST and it really makes a huge difference. Shifts are smoother and the slop is gone when leaving from a stop. Feels like a different car.
@@ADDwithJTC yeah, slightly. Normal driving was like normal. Over time it did subside, and it was much nicer to drive. The only thing that annoyed me was when I turned the car on, it vibrated loads until the untill the revs settled.
@@stephensmyth4830 thanks for letting me know it subsides. Going to my neighbor's garage now. You were just in time. I was almost about to not install it after my oil change.
Thanks Bill for all your help over the years. You seem to always have videos for the vehicles and modifications I choose. Appreciate the specifics in all of your videos.
This will add NVH. Wheel hop is greatly improved, also amazing how it changes shifting. No longer do you have to feather into gear to avoid clunking. But the vibration at slow take offs make this a give and take mod. The improvement in shift quality for me out weighs the vibration. I was thinking about drilling out maybe 2 - 4 of the holes to soften the mount just a little...
Can't express how awesome, high quality, and helpful these vids are. keep em coming! (and also please do a "how/were to put jack-stands for the Focus ST)
Great vid for prepping how to do it, notice you didn't show how to torque the rear 15mm stud, it's a pig, I couldn't get a ratchet near it let alone a torque wrench.
I lost the oem bolt you unscrew @ 3:52 any chance you can tell me the size so I can buy a replacement? (I reinstalled the stock mount) It's the only ford oem parts screw that's not listed unfortunately. I would really appreciate this as the screw I have in there now is too short and makes me nervous it's going to snap.
I was shocked at how much vibration there is at idle, 800rpm. I'm just wondering what's coming loose given how much vibration there is. It's just fine down the road, but waiting at a stop light there's just too much plastic in car to not rattle because of it.
Installed one of these on my '16 FoST a few months ago. Definitely a noticeable decline in torque steer, but the additional NVH almost makes it not worth it. After months my car still shakes at idle. I thought it would settle in a soften some but it hasn't.
Was about to go install mine right now 17 ST. Vibration at idle that bad? I saw someone else mention it but didn't say almost makes it not worth it. Scaring me.
There is many different rmm from different companies, some have different bushings.. I have a softer one from whoosh and I get only a slight amount of vibration at idle but it feels like it's supposed to be there. This cobb rmm might have a more ridgid bushing then some others .
I can't get that last bolt that holds the arm in place loose. Its the one up and in back. Hard to get at. Not the one on bottom inside near main bottom mountbolt.
So one of my friends thought that the downpipe nuts were supposed to be torqued down and snapped one of them off. Is that bad that I only have one bolt there now?
This makes just such a difference in your ST you will not believe it. You can pick up the Ford electric mount for $50.00 bucks. It works Great also! This is a MUST DO UPGRADE IF YOU HAVE A 2013-1st QTR 2014 ST. No more wheel hop, no more horrible smashing noise of the engine trying to jump out of the engine bay!
@@WorldsOkayistGuitarPlayer I have the 17 ST. Still tons of wheel hop with electric mount. Just got my cobb mount in the mail. Nice day. Bout to go install.
Kind of stupid that Ford's stock mount is so bad that there is a noticeable difference in installing an aftermarket one. Of all the parts that should give a noticeable feeling when upgraded, a motor mount shouldn't be one of them.
I love the CJ videos when they install things.. ...annnd reinstall your dp bracket...((cut scene))...((cut scene))...magically snaps right in. psssh come on..show it whooping your ass

Easily one of the best mecahnics i've seen on youtube videos as far as wrench turning habits is concerned.. Great vid.

Fubutubu2 did you notice vibration on idle? did it subside

@@ADDwithJTC no problem bud! Yeah give it a couple of weeks, but the positives 100% outweigh the vibration. No more wheel hop etc

It never goes this easy
Tell me about it. Was on my back trying to get them damn brackets out that hold the down pipe. No go, he got them out like a magic trick 😂
@@manuelsantellan8808just did mine and I laid under the car for a hot minute like how the fuck
Just did this to my 14 st today and love it...you have the best tutorials...followed every step and diidnt have any problems...thanks!
How is the vibration?
@@jordenetter7707 dont have the car anymore but It really wasnt bad with the Cobb mount...a little worse than normal

Pinch welds
the same place as every other car.. LMAO
The best and the easiest to install. Every focus st owner should have!
That bracket… Couldn’t get them out for squat in my 14’. 🤷♂️
I can’t remove the stud at 5:09. Too tight. Any other tools than a wrench. Can’t remove it with ratchet. Not enough space
How does the rear motor mount bracket come off? I move it around in every direction and I can't get it off. Yours the falls off.

I wish you were located closer to me, so you could use my RS to make some videos!

Did this get better after it broke in?
Did you support the engine while you did this? Or is not necessary?
There are two side mounts that support the engine. It will rock front to back a little but its safe.
@@Zerogivengarage be careful. One of my side motor mounts was failty
ratchetcityrider318 I was under that car with 2inches of clearance. You confirmed my fear

Jason Cotellessa did you go through with it?

same here been cranking at it for nearly 30 mins. sprayed wd40 got a bigger ratchet, tried an impact seems impossible.

Will i need to support the engine?
About how long does this process take if I'm using a lift? Just for the rear mount.
clayton requet with a lift you should have no problem getting in done in an hour or less
@@cjponyparts Thank you!
What’s the bolt length or where could I find a replacement

I have a 16 FoST. I believe it comes with the electric mount, do you know if thats correct?
Focus RR yes but the electric one is still junk
@@WorldsOkayistGuitarPlayer I have the 17 ST. Still tons of wheel hop with electric mount. Just got my cobb mount in the mail. Nice day. Bout to go install.
How does this one compare to the cpe stage 2?
do you know if the RMM for the focus is that same as a Mazda3/speed3?
yep exact same mount, prbably no help 10 months on but yes it is the same
Can this be done with the car sitting on ramps?
Yes, but it is quite cramped and those two metal brackets are a PITA to remove AND install.
Yeah, everything is very do able just be prepared to sweat a bit
Hell i did it in about an hour but yes it is a bitch there are two screws that are a pain but the rest is easy.
Great video, but curious as to why you torqued the mount itself?
probably so it doesnt come loose by vibrations
Kind of stupid that Ford's stock mount is so bad that there is a noticeable difference in installing an aftermarket one. Of all the parts that should give a noticeable feeling when upgraded, a motor mount shouldn't be one of them.
Ford even upgraded the original mounts to the E Focus which is better but there is still room for improvement.
It makes sense they didn't use a super stiff mount but on the St it shouldn't be so soft that a part like this has become so popular.
Exactly. I have a Focus SE with 26k miles on it and the rear motor mount is pretty much shot.
I have a 2017 diesel focus and need a rear gearbox mount which one do I need please
Will an st rear mount still fit an se?
Why would you buy a rmm for your se?
If you want a RMM for your SE check out AWR mounts they make one specifically fit the SE. Although I don't know why you'd want one for an SE...
I love the CJ videos when they install things..
...annnd reinstall your dp bracket...((cut scene))...((cut scene))...magically snaps right in.
psssh come on..show it whooping your ass
How would you get a stripped bolt out of the torque dampener
I haven't had to do that but I would assume you could remove it, drill it out, and helicoil it.
Could you just straight drill into it little by little?
imagine torquing something down that flexes without a brace or clamp. yikes.
Seems stupid using a torque wrench especially when the final torque isnt set with one movement ...
