Motor mount help
Well last year one of the original motor mounts finally gave way so I went ahead and replaced both mounts. One of those mounts failed already. I am a bit disappointed that a new part failed so quickly. I believe they were a AutoZone part so I can get my money back. The problem is I still don't have a good motor mount. So the question is does anyone know of a current good brand of motor mounts. I see that rockauto has a few options, but they all look like the same part to me. This last mount failed climbing a steep grade in low range, was not even getting on it just a steady climb. It allowed the motor to move enough to take a chunk out of the fan shroud. The original mount failed with the hammer down climbing a steeper grade after being in service for 40 years and it did not allow the fan to hit the shroud. I use the Jeep for all my outdoor adventures so I would like something that would last longer than a year. Any suggestions? Thanks, George.

Re: Motor mount help
Prothane motor mounts and tranny mounts are very durable.

Re: Motor mount help
Went through the same issue with the "stock type" mounts sold today. When through two pair, both of which failed in the first couple weeks. I finally spent the money on the prothane mounts and never had a problem again.

Re: Motor mount help
Was just about to buy some rubber mounts for mine. Engine and trans are out being rebuilt.
Do the polyurethane transfer any harshness into the vehicle during driving?

Not that I've ever noticed. Poly motor and trans mounts on three different Jeeps.

Re: Motor mount help
Check your transmission mount as well. It's weird you broke another motor mount so soon.

Re: Motor mount help
Good deal. I run poly on my WS6 T/A and it is more harshness, but it may be a different makeup of poly.
Could also be the long tube headers transferring some vibration as well.
