Upper engine mount bushing? Neoprene or rubber 850 1995

I need to replace my upper engine mount bushing, the one that is up there near the firewall and near the center of the engine compartment.
I remember some folks here stating that the blue colored neoprene one you can buy that I think is a do-it-yourselfer, allowed alot of vibration after installation. Is this true or just an urban legend?

    I put the blue poly IPD bushing in two years ago. A simple 20 minute job and I only notice a slight increase in vibration when then mount is really cold (lke 20 degrees or colder) but that goes away quickly when the engine warms up.

    My PO installed a yellow one. If there is additional vibration, it is not noticeable.

      Where did you buy the yellow one?
      What does "PO" stand for?

        "PO" is Previous Owner. Not to be confused with PO'd.

    I installed the blue neoprene engine mount bushing also. I notice it during the winter after a cold engine start. As soon as the engine warms up, I do not notice the difference.

    I got a little more vibration after installing the poly bushing from IPD. I don't think it's too bad. Let's just say it's not in the top 5 most annoying vibrations or rattles on the car. :-) Also it's a fairly easy install.

      In regard to this question, I have found only one good description of how to actually install the rubber mount, which seems to involve a good deal of hassle, and I still wasn't too clear on exactly how it's done. Anybody out there who's done that? Can you direct me to a good procedural outline somewhere? I'll probably do the urethane, but I'd like to see just what I'm avoiding in the process.
