So let me start by introducing my old motor mount. As you can see... It's hurrrrrrrrting. Didn't help that I took a hacksaw to it (to cut through the thin mount insert), but it was already cut straight through! Wasn't firm either, soft and squishy. Anyway, the picture below took place after I smacked it twice with a rubber mallet. Intuition tells me it's not suppose to stay like that.

Here is one of the shiny new red ones! Looks good huh? Inserts as two peices with a metal tube through the middle. Very firm, but they have some give. Scariest part of the whole install was praying I didn't break any bolts! (I managed to break like 6/8 on the heat shield.. lol) I LOADED it up with PB blaster, seemed to do the trick! :)

Now... I'd like to do my front mount, but I have to install a starter in my sister's Sunfire quickly.. *sigh* The jackstands that I need (safety first!) are under her car at the moment. So the rear mount will be tomorrow. I'll also throw in my exhaust! (that's right! It's welded up baby!)
