The wife drove the car all day. She said it ran much better no shaking and real quiet. (so quiet she found other problems / noises )

I enjoy working on these cars just don't have as much experience as most on this forum.
Any little I can give back is satisfying . The plus is actually fixing what you where after.

On the engine shocks are they just on the 617 ? My 616 doesn't even have a place for them but it never had the side to side problem even running poorly.

The top mounts where soaked in oil so it deteriorated the rubber letting it pop out of the metal mount.
One side looked like it was still attached but when removed it was in two pieces.

The rubber on the shock mounts is a very soft compound . I'm guessing this is to prevent vibrations.
The only improvement I would make is to use poly bushings instead.
The ones on a Chevy front sway bar mount look like they would probably work.

Time will only tell how this fix holds up.

Diesel 911 has been kind enough to put directions on posting pics but I just don't get it. If my son can help me I will post pics of the top mount repair.

I still have the bubbles in the primary . Increasing the pressure helped drive ability but had no effect on the air . This weekend I will troubleshoot it some more.



And yes my wife's boobs are no longer bouncing. How could I forget that one.
