Installing a new Pitch Mount

The OEM and Group N pitch mounts have an arrow on them that indicates the installation direction. Keep the arrow on the top of the mount, pointed toward the front of the car.

OEM vs Group N

The Group N mount looks identical to the OEM mount, but likely uses a stiffer rubber material in the isolators at either end.

Sizes, Torques, & Specs
