So I Demolished A Motor Mount

I had a cracked passenger side upper motor mount.I jacked up my engine to put on my 15% and the bolt got hung up on the bracket in turn demolishing the motormount.Now I have a leaky motor mount and a rocking engine.Are there aftermarket mounts..Or is the only option to trulyfix the problem to order the late model mount assembly?My cars an 03/03 build so it has the old mount.

Any input would be great

The 1st thing that will help limit the rocking would be a TSW Damper and getting the right replacement from the dealer.

We will start testing a retro fit kit for the leaky motor mount by the end of the month and hope to have a replacement kit ready to ship by the end of Aug 08.

I could see that if you get a good reliable replacement at a good price, you might need yourself a mailing list to let folks know it's ready
