- MORE CUSTARD IS HERE!
This is the latest performance mod that I have installed on my Ford Focus RS MK3 and it is the roll restrictor aka torque mount aka rear motor mount from Mountune!
The Mountune roll restrictor is a direct replacement of the stock part. The stock part is OK for stock applications and when not driving hard but beyond this it could do with improvement. The stock mount/restrictor uses a relatively small rubber bushing that is quite soft so absorb maximum vibration but this has the undesired effect of allowing a lot of movement which is bad for performance.
As torque and power are increased over standard, the Focus RS mount will struggle to absorb the forces involved, especially with aggressive driving, meaning wheel hop could be an issue - think launch control!
This part is crying out for replacement if performance is what you are after!
Engineered and manufactured from high strength aluminium with a quality and much larger polyurethane bushing made by Powerflex, the Mountune roll restrictor upgrade provides improved rigidity for less movement under load while being specifically engineered not to add too much NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness).
I show the process of removing the stock mount / restrictor and then how to install the new Mountune roll restrictor, starting with the removal of the bolts before installing the Mountune part as well as a bit of extra advice that actually comes from Revo!
The installation didn't take too long and wasn't too difficult although working in that area under the RS is a bit of a tight squeeze and one of the bolts (the one at the top of the mounting plate) was a little tricky to remove and impossible to torque to spec - if you look up any other guides, you will see that they gloss over this point rather conveniently!
I am very pleased with the new mount / roll restrictor and will be sharing my thoughts on it soon in a future video but needless to say I think it is definitely worth doing!
Key features:
-Engineered and optimised for Focus RS
-High quality HE30 anodised billet aluminum body
-Bespoke size and shore hardness polyurethane bushes exclusively manufactured by Powerflex
-Reduction in engine movement
-Minimal effect on NVH

I got the boomba 2 piece one instead of the mountune. Pretty much all same install and what not except I never had to put the copper grease on lol. But these all make a huge difference in the fell of the car. Awesome video, mate, you always give great descriptions of what exactly you are doing with these installs!
I would have considered the boomba but over here getting boomba stuff is pricey because of import charges :( Cheers :)
@@AdamRainey ah, in America, I paid the same price for either one. But i gets it that you gotta import boomba, you got mountune right at home 😅
Nice. Looking forward to your impression.
Cheers Dave :)
Good addition Adam I have one on my car and you will "feel" the tighter bush for sure under acceleration!
Cheers Nigel, yep I deffo do! :)
@@AdamRainey nice video Adam ... I knew you'd love it especially using LC
Another great video 👍🏻
Cheers Cj!
Would have been nice seeing a video of you driving and your initial thoughts of the product.
that will be a future video
Great video Adam 👍🏻
Cheers mate :)
Like the Alien shirt 👍
You are the first to notice Steve so special love your way!
Hi Adam. Just a Question is the 2 mountune roll restrictiors one is V1.are they different. Thx.Graham.RS Focus MK3.
Hi Graham, they are only a little different. There won't be any difference in performance, the only difference will be in installation in that the V2 has threads build in so the bolt screws into that instead of having a nut at the other side so it is a bit easier/more convenient to install
nice job. that Mt mount looks like it has zero compliance compared to the std Ford mount! I would imagine you are now going to get some vibes through the floor now! Why is it called a roll restrictor? is that just a con to by MT to make people think its going to improve cornering? all it does is make the engine location firmer surely? why not call it an "uprated lower engine mount"? Come back and let us know what you think, or have you removed it already?? ha ha
Thanks mate. The increase in vibration is minimal but the improvement (not in cornering as you say lol) is well worth it! I am doing a video soon on my thoughts :) I agree, roll restrictor is a weird name, I would have called it some kind of mount, don't know what Mountune were thinking
mainman2999 the mount also reduces wheel hop massively , the mount is a must with all performance fords
How much better is the mount is it noticeably firmer as I'm thinking of getting one of these for mine 👍cheers
It is noticeable for sure, I would say a worthy mod indeed. Check out the vid I have have coming tomorrow, I talk all about it and show some real world evidence of its effects :)
which Race Ramps do you have and do they work ok with lowered suspension
Will you replace the small bush aswell in the future?
Cj - this comment inspired me - video coming soon!
@@AdamRainey good once you’ve shown how it’s done I will follow 😀
