I recently got a barely used ttr upper mount for my 2.4, and had a quick question. It seems like the part of the center of the bushing(bolts to motor) spins kinda freely. Could it be the nut on the back of the mount needs to be tightened somewhat or is this common. Its not loose enough for it to twirl around a few times if I were to spin it, but it just seems like it should be more solid. Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, or if it doesnt make alot of sense.
yes they do move a little bit. its normal. you could try to tighten it down somehow but not sure how without messing up the powdercoat.
i believe its that way in order for the mount to work properly, if it didnt move at all then there would be no need for the bushing.
Bushing is a shock absorber.
Ok cool. Its just that Ive looked at other pics of peoples mounts and it looked like the nut was on a little tighter on the stud.

It is designed to pivot there, there are no "rotational" forces on there, so it does not affect the performance, it stops all the forward/backward, up/down movements...

Also there is a metal sleeve between the bushing and the bolt, the sleeve only allows the nut to get so tight.
It is all good...

Alright thanks everyone. I just wasnt sure because from looking at other mounts it looks like the part that bolts to the motor was against the bushing more. Being like this it seemed like it would allow the motor to rock back and forth a bit more, idk lol.
