I'm getting really good at changing motor mounts. I'm ready to move on to something new to learn, having changed mounts about 6 times in the last two years, and needing to do so again. Car in question, a normally aspirated '84 wagon.

In searching, I've found the general consensus is to use OEM, but also saw a recommendation for diesel mounts, turbo mounts, or Meyle ("will outlast the car")...

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I'd really like a few more opinions...

I know where to get them, but...

We got OEM from volvoparts.com for ~$25 each
We got Meyle from Europartsdirect for ~$12 each
We got (presumably off brand) diesel mounts from Europartsdirect for ~$10 each
We got (presumably off brand) Turbo mounts from Europartsdirect for ~$10 each



Also read about the poly mount place, but didn't see any glowing recommendations on them.

I want longevity. I don't care about a little vibration. I'm considering some sort of 3rd motor mount like IPD used to sell (at least for the pushrod cars..) Any thoughts there?

I think my main problem is the rough roads I drive, ending in what could be referred to as a 'Jeep trail' that is my driveway.

As said, this will be my 3rd motor mount change this year and I'm hoping not to have to do it again for some time...

Thanks, and sorry to bring the subject up again...
