I don't know if Meyle is now the manufacturer of the hydraulic ones. I forget the brand of my solid units.

Tried to order from Sonnen but internet did not allow. Went to Sunset imports and got the same price, $328 for the pair plus s+h. These are the oem hydraulic mounts, not solid rubber.

If you think about it that is not a lot of money for original parts with a 2-year warranty that will probably give you 5+ years of excellent duty. I spend about that for two tires that won't last half that time.

Ok, got the motor mounts, read all the threads pertaining to installation again. Grabbed the spanners and got crackin'. Looked at the under carriage and seen no need to remove anything but the heat shield.Not even the tires.I did disconnect the battery. Unbolted the MMts and jacked up the engine till the heater valve hit the firewall. Then twisted out the MMts.
Had a big fail on install I did not notice a cap from the old mm stuck inside the arm above the MM so when I set the new one in it would not fit tight to the arm in the socket. I thought the bolts would suck it up since I greased it up. NO GO, it stripped the threads on the new MMts damn it. So a $42 heli-coil kit from Napa was in order and all is well. Pried out the cap from the old MM and the new one fell right in place. Dropped the motor down and tightened down all the bolts. Done!!!!

Forgot to mention my a/c and alt and air box was removed for my a/c deleat project that's underway. The ac compressor would defiantly be in the way
