I have installed new PFADT motor mounts in my C5 Z06. They worked fine for around 5K Miles until I start to fell strong vibration in the car both at idle and driving !!
I check my crank balancer and it was OK, it was new SLP installed same time with mounts. Then I have decide to remove the PFADT motor mounts and put back the stock mounts.
Stock mounts are in now and the car idle and drive much better and smooth.
Take a look what happen to PFADT mounts that caused the vibration
When i orded the PFADT mount a new set of bushings where incled in the box, I gave them to my freind he will put the new bushings in and he will be happey for the first 3k to 4k miles and then they will fail again.

do you have longtubes and if so are they coated?... if not and you don't have any kind of heat shield on the mounts then I'm sure the heat from the headers is what caused it... either way I'm sure you can easily source a replacement bushing and repair them back to like new condition, the main parts look to be ok and when working properly they are way better than the stock mount

Yes I do have Kooks long tube headers and it's not coated. When I installed the PFADT mounts I tryed to cover them with the stock heat shield that was on the stock mounts but then I removed it, I did not have a heat shield on them
Another thing if some one planning to install them I would do some granding to the bolt to make more clearance

I have coated longtubes and they don't get anywhere near as hot as some that I've seen with uncoated longtubes... I will never install another set on any car I own without coating them first, that stuff really does help a lot... that being said, I haven't had any problems with my pfadt mounts so far... this is the first time I have heard of this one actually, has anyone else had this issue?
if you want but those are the facts! some people may have issues with the product just like any vender supplying custom pieces developed by them. There was not a epidemic of problems overall though. Sorry you guys got the short end of the stick with your products but I for one have never had 1 issue with anything from them and many others would say the same. PFADT was not a large company by any means!
No, They went out of business because they couldn't keep up with the supply & demand...
that by definition is an impossibility.
You do no go out of business because you have more customers than you can handle. That is an enviable position to be in from a business owner standpoint. I know I own a business. The problem was mismanagement and/or faulty product.
