Never tried them on both sides. I have put it on da driver's side and Im on my second one. The first one broke (actually it was the bracket on the strap not the strap itself) after the Schumacher poly motor mount broke. Dont know why u would need one on da pass side. The motor lifts from the drivers side when you accelerate, unless your in reverse.

It's cheaper to make your own

You only need one on the drivers side.

Put a engine plate in it if your worried about twisting

Are you talking a torque strap or a torque reaction rod
(strap going down on a angle to the frame, almost
vertical) or (a torque reaction rod, almost fore and aft)
The Strap is to take the load off of a motor mount
and you only need 1, the passenger side doesnt get
any real load UNLESS you break the drivers side mount.
The rods keep the engine from going rearward on launch
with a motor plate

I understand mr P body but wouldnt one on the pass side help with the twisting and take some pressure off the drivers side... the strap now...

Dont really wanna run a motor plate. doesnt fit the theme of my car

If you already have one, Find something else to spend $90 on

If not buy one for the drivers side and that will be more than plenty. Or make your own

The passenger side is basically in compression so you
can put a strap on it all day long and it wont do
diddly squat

How about a solid mount on the drivers side? Seems like the simplest and most bulletproof method short of an engine mounting plate.
