[Healeys] BN2 Rear Trans Mount

[m.g.sharp at sympatico.ca]

While talking about that stabilizer rod, I have never seen anything that gives good guidance on how much to compress the two rubber bungs.  I have always compressed them so they just bulge, thus not allowing any play, but not so tight that the bungs are really deformed and loose any “give” at all.  I have never had an issue, just reading the posts and thought I’d ask.

Well Alan, it gives you a chance to install that new alloy radiator you’ve been wanting...

All I can say is that rear trans mount is important but sounds like if it's just bent, just compensate for it when you cinch up your tie rod.  Don't do like I did right after college when I was driving my BJ8 and not think that tie rod is not important - don't ask how I know this 😱😭😭😱😱😭😭😭😭😭😭

You don't how it is bent but should the car have been in a heavy shunt the only thing that holds the heavy engine and gearbox from going forward is the tie rod. If this part of the cross member is bent it could reduce the distance from the fan to the radiator.

At the moment I am under my BN2 and noticed the rear transmission mount looks bent. The frame does not look like it has been hit in the front, but who knows?  It seems to me this is not right.  Do I need to straighten this or will it make a difference in installing the drive train?
