It wasn't one of their special mounts though but something that was supposed to be a factory replacement. I don't know what you are working on but Polybushings.com is an almost all Mopar company with really great customer service. They mostly do oddball stuff that none else makes.

Do solid mounts on both sides and that's another story... Quote: I broke a stud off a Schumacher mount while just getting it snug before I applied the proper torque.

I made my own several years ago with an old hollow fender brace, a piece of 5/8 all-thread, and a $10 pair of rubber strut rod type bushings from the parts store- looks great and haven't had a motor mount fail since..

If you find mounts made in Korea, they are much better than ones made in India. I'd like to see some made here in North America again, though. I did buy some LCA bushings at NAPA a few weeks ago and they were made in Mexico, so maybe motor mounts are to follow..........

The ones I bought from RockAuto for my 440 say "Korea" on them and I was wondering about the quality considering they were pretty inexpensive. Scott 1969 Super Bee, 383/4 speed

A little more vibration than with both rubbers, but not much. Motor stays right where its supposed to! LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

But a man can't make a living off just market alone but I'll save that rant for another time. Johnny will often make stuff as well if he sees a demand and I wish he would go more into this market.

Yes, Johnny, that's his name! I have his poly adjustable bobble strut in my daytona. Good guy to deal with and good products, I'd use him more if he did more old mopar stuff.
