Gasoline Fumes · 10-12-2017, 08:14 AM

My Wagon got noticeably louder when I removed the passenger's seat. I'm not sure if the seat was blocking noise from the rear tires or absorbing the noise. Maybe both.

You have poly inserts in the rear engine mount only? Can you take them out and try stiffening the front mount instead?
