Perrin Pitch Stop Mount 1998-2008 Forester | Billet Aluminum | Drivetrain Mount
Overview
The Perrin Pitch Stop Mount for 1998-2008 Subaru Forester models is a precision-engineered upgrade designed to reduce drivetrain shudder and improve throttle response under hard acceleration. This mount replaces the factory pitch stop, which is prone to excessive movement due to its plastic construction and soft rubber bushings. Ideal for Forester owners with power or drivetrain modifications, this mount provides a more solid connection between the engine and chassis, minimizing unwanted drivetrain movement and enhancing overall driving feel.
Crafted from 6061 billet aluminum and paired with dual durometer bushings (90a and 70a), the Perrin Pitch Stop Mount balances stiffness and NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) control. This design philosophy ensures that the mount is firm enough to control engine and transmission pitch without introducing excessive vibration or harshness inside the cabin. Perrin’s focus on platform-specific fitment means this mount is tailored precisely for the Forester chassis, avoiding the common pitfalls of adapting WRX or STI components that do not fit correctly.
By controlling the front-to-back twisting of the drivetrain during aggressive acceleration and deceleration, this mount delivers a more positive and connected driving experience. Subaru enthusiasts will appreciate the improved power delivery feel and reduced drivetrain slop, which translates into more efficient power transfer to the wheels. This upgrade is a practical and effective solution for Forester owners looking to enhance drivetrain stability and responsiveness without compromising daily drivability.
