Thanks all. You really know how to guilt somebody into doing the right thing! Now, I just went to FCP Groton's site and found they sell all three for under 10 bucks a piece. Are these mounts gonna last? Here's the deal: Over Thanksgiving I changed my swing arm bushings with the 17 dollar cheapies you get from FCP, Swedish Eng. etc. That night I read a post from Dave S(Shannon I think) where he stated these bushings crapped out for him in just 30K miles of SoCal driving. They are lighter and don't have as much rubber as the 55 dollar items at the dealer. You get what you pay for most of the time. So are the cheap motor mounts any good? Or should make a trip to the dealer in beautiful, scenic East Hartford tomorrow?
