Most people that have the bars have B motors where that is not an issue. I also noticed when I removed my front mount when I had an A6 that it did the same thing and I had to put the mount back in.

I installed my the other day a couple problems getting the bolts started but other than that pretty easy...did you realign the radius rods after you installed? I measured before and after and made them pretty much the same...oh and people seem to have a problem with this mount being so close to the axle but as JK has said before it will never contact it

I also installed mine last week for the most part everything went good. I hacked the radiator mounts off and welded them on the other side made for some more DP room

B-series aftermarket mounts usually eleminate the front mount.

They're also made of polyurathane.

Do you have poly mounts?
