Stop steering slop on your 05-13 Tundra with Energy's polyurethane steering rack bushing set, part # 8.10107R for red, 8.10107G for black.
Energy Suspension part # 3.1155 (add “R” for red or “G” for black) is a motor mount set for the Cadillac CTS-V and is a far cry from the relatively wimpy OEM parts. Energy Suspension's new Cadillac motor mounts are engineered with a billet aluminum housing inserted with race-proven Hyper-Flex performance polyurethane. Designed to control engine rotation and outlast OE mounts while dampening vibration, this is a must for Cadillac CTS/CTS-V enthusiasts. Sold in sets and are available in red or black polyurethane. Energy doesn’t pull punches about these mounts – they admit they are one of the most difficult-to-install parts in their catalog. But when replacement is necessary, either as preventative maintenance in anticipation of a power upgrade, or to replace blown-out OEM mounts, it makes sense to use a part that won’t need to be replaced again. This particular job on the Caddy should be done once, and done right.
The second-generation (2009-2014) Cadillac CTS-V being powered by the 556 horsepower LSA supercharged V8. The car was more than a powerful engine in a so-so chassis. It was designed from the outset to offer both comfort and handling to go with the immense power provided by the LSA under the hood. The stock engine mounts were a compromise – soft enough (and properly tuned) to absorb vibration at idle, stiff enough to keep the engine from twisting in the chassis at full throttle. Beyond that, the design of the subframe that both supports the engine and provides mounting points for the front suspension was also designed with ease of production as a priority.
The stock engine mounts, which are fine for normal use, start to show signs of distress pretty quickly when the boost gets turned up. The LSA has shown enormous potential with even relatively mild upgrades, as a look at our CTS-V project car will show. Keeping the engine firmly rooted helps the rest of the driveline stay healthy, in addition to transmitting power more efficiently instead of wasting it tying the engine and transmission up in knots.
Fits 2009-2014 Cadillac CTS-V 6.2L and 2008-2012 CTS 3.0L,3.6L Exc. AWD models.
