so my upper driver side motor mount was broke when i pulled the motor (D16Z6) and i was looking at getting an energy/prothane insert but where? and which is what i need?

this is only the lower vibration mounts correct?

this is what i need? but it's prothane? :?

gonna be pissed, that thing is expensive

what brand is it?

The only thing you may be able to do is remove the rotted rubber and fill the entire thing with a tube of urethane, but then you have to be careful to get the pin centered and angled correctly.

son of a bitch... it's just the factory one that came on the car, so the prothane ones do not fill the entire void? like this:

well NAPA sells them for like $90, i guess i will try and find a used one maybe...where would i be able to find a tube of urethane to fill it, never heard of that? :?

so how do the energy ones help that much?

i'm just going to get a used one and call it a day, get the ES lower mounts :thumb:

this car is going to be the death of me :lol:

wow really? so like it's a NAPA special? i mean the car looks like it might have been hit and repaired cause i keep finding bondo spots.... i'm thinking it was a hit that killed this mount, it's slit right through and really clean, doesn't look like it happened over a long time.....

damn women drivers :x
