Hello all,

I'm sure I could spend half an hour searching the forums for the answer, but I was hoping someone would just give it to me.

What is the PN and appllication for the Anchor motor mounts. What do they normally go to?

Mark

IIRC they are for a variety of Ford trucks.

The Anchor PN is 2698

Motor mounts can be judged from under the car with the oil filter out. Check how far the mount failure retention hook is from the mount base. If there’s more than 5/8" or so, the mounts should be checked carefully. If there’s metal-to-metal contact at the mounts, they need replacing. It’s hard and dirty, but it makes a noticeable difference. Support the car with jack stands. Use a small bottle jack to support the engine with a piece of wood, so you don't damage the oil pan. You must remove the cross-member to do this job. Removing the cross-member requires dropping the steering rack and the inner lower control arm mounts. This shouldn't screw up your alignment. I dropped my cross member without removing the rack, just push it back. It's tight, but it works. Leave the hoses connected, just don't over-stress them. Remove the steering shaft universal joint. Be careful of the ball joint boots and the brake lines, it’s easy to damage them by letting the arms swing. There are a few other pieces in the way, like ground cables, etc. Replace everything, but first snug the oil pan bolts. When you get to the steering universal, pull the plastic plug on the front of the rack housing just in front of where the shaft goes in. Look in the hole, find the dimple in the rack, and center it in the hole. This centers the rack. Install the universal so that the steering wheel is straight with the dimple centered. It's an 8-10 hr job. Motor mount substitute several $100’s less than Porsche; Ford mounts from Anchor Ind., P/N 2698. It’s a sturdier hydraulic mount with stiff rubber wall. It’s 3.04" (77.2mm) from mounting surface to mounting surface, and there should be no problem using a washer to shim it. The 2698 is used on 86-96 Ford F350 4.9L V-6, 97 Ford Ranger 2.3L L-4, 97 Mazda B2300 2.3L L-4 (same as the Ranger). Carparts.com sells the 2698 for $69 each. I called http://www.pioneerautoinc.com/ about motor mount #612-698. This is equivalent to the Anchor 2698. Pioneer says this is a very heavy engine, and believes the 612-698 mounts would be fine for our V8. They're $32/ea at Discount Auto Parts. The mounting studs are 12mm x 1.75mm, buy 4 new nuts. You also need to get 6-10 steel washers with at least a 12mm or ½” hole for shims. I installed shims on the bottom of the mounts totaling about 7-8mm thick to raise the motor to the proper level. Don’t exceed 8mm in thickness or the locating pin in the bottom of the mount won’t catch the hole in the mount bracket. When the job was done with the Ford mounts, the pan and the sub frame were at the same level. The Ford mount bottom surface fits fine and the locating pin fits the bracket. The top surface does not fit quite as precisely, but tightened up OK. More info at: http://members.rennlist.com/pirtle

These do work on all MY 928s?

AFAIK, the solid mounts, 4" shock absorbers, and crossmember were common until end of MY '82. At that time, the crossmember changed to accept the hydraulic mounts - and the mini shocks were deleted.
The #2698 mounts can be used on all cars equipped with OEM hydraulic mounts. Earlier cars require the updated crossmember to adapt to these mounts; however, IIRC, there was a post on using the earlier crossmember with the 2698s - ?? maybe possible ...

I bought all mine from www.rockauto.com for $23 ea.
Make sure you get the ones made in the USA ones and not those made in India.
There is an extra mounting spigot on the Indian ones .
Just checked the site and they are still $23.79 each.

There is a small,what appears to be a locating tit, on the USA made mounts....does this line up with anything on the 928, or do you remove it?

It locates with a hole in the mounting bracket.
Do not remove it.
