I came across some info about rubber cements while researching ways to secure and snug my rattling interior (it is not that bad I just got bored...) and got to thinking about my front mount...if the bushing is ripped and wore out, then rubber cement can most definitely repair and even make the mount a little more stable than OEM...this would also possible apply to bushings and any part that has a rubber dampener....
Any thoughts? I may try this over the weekend with my front mount, if I discover that it is actually bad tomorrow...

Re: $5 Motor Mount
That would be a waste of 5 dollars. The repair would not last or it might last and a new tear/crack will come along, probably right beside your glue repair.jl4n3 wrote:I came across some info about rubber cements while researching ways to secure and snug my rattling interior (it is not that bad I just got bored...) and got to thinking about my front mount...if the bushing is ripped and wore out, then rubber cement can most definitely repair and even make the mount a little more stable than OEM...this would also possible apply to bushings and any part that has a rubber dampener....

AutoZone (if you live in the USA) has motor mounts listed for all models of Daewoos and if they don't have them in stock they will order it.
Mine came in two working days. Lanos (front) was only about $20.00 (USD) but your Nubria may be a bit more.
Or you can order yourself:

first off what are you driving? there is always a better option.
second... this is one of the... well... worse ideas i've heard of, sorry to be so blunt. here is a simple test i want you to do, fill a small ziplock bag (or something like this) with the rubber cement. once its completely dry, and it will take a while, first remove the rubber cement from the bag. you should have a pretty good size block, now what i want you to do is twist this block until it crumbles. this should take much force at all. this is only of many tests you would have to do before even considering using rubber cement.
now if i'm right it will crumble very easy once it's in such a large clump. reason being is that it's a very unstructured compound, i think it's a polyester base when you need a polyurethane. (check out these highlighted links to Wikipedia)
if the rubber cement actually maintains it's ponds after this test i'll give you series of fallow up tests.

now you're talking, there is actually a scale that list the different hardnesses of polyurethanes and it includes a list of everyday products to compare with. where ever you get your urethane from should be able to get you different hardnesses but yes drilling is an option to make it softer.jl4n3 wrote:They make liquid polyurethane...if I were to completely fill both sides of the mount and let it dry then if it is too firm I can drill 4 or so holes through it to make it have more give...
