motor mounts
 

Anyone done these for the 93-99 ZJ with the 4.0?

Looks like some of my vibration problems are to to
dying motor mounts. Little buggers are expensive too
90-88$ each and about 300 for labor. Gonna do them myself
probably, that's too much for mounts (unless they are a
royal pain that is).

Hi Doug,
Well, you've been there done that, maybe grind a bigger notch for
your headers.

I looks like you've torqued it some many times it's completely worn

I thought that too, but they came like that, with a hole on the upper side.
I expected a solid rubber donut. Strange isn't it. :/

Actually it got me thinking that I could order a poly bushing from Energy
Suspension and replace the guts just like doing the track bar. Not even
sure exactly what the OEM comes as. For 80$ I'm expecting the mounts and
bushing but who knows, can't find a picture of the OEM unit and only one
mention of an aftermarket from these folks.

Fired off an email asking if they could send me a picture. If it's just the
guts then the surgery shouldn't take too long. (famous last words)

Almost makes me want the old C-10 Chevy back. Those mounts were just a hunk
of rubber and took a few minutes each side to do.
