Yes, rrounds' 00 SSEi did, in a very similar spot. Honestly, for a good shop it's a few hour's repair. You can support the engine and trans from above, unbolt the LCA's and bolts attaching it to everything and it will fall out, then repeat. You should be able to find a good condition used one for relatively cheap from a salvage yard, they're the same across all 00+ Bonnevilles and a few other cars. If the rest of the car and the powertrain are in good condition, replace it and keep driving.

Yeah. Where are you located? www.car-part.com might help, otherwise you might just want to talk to a reputable shop, tell them what happened and see if they can locate one.

And yeah, definitely don't drive the car until you get this fixed. I'd be worried about driving it to the shop...

It is called the engine cradle GM part number 25766845. Do a search on http://car-part.com/ and they are around $300-$400 in you area with plenty available.

Found the part on carpart. $200 and the place is just down the street juz have to wait till monday. so i can go pick it up. hopefully everythin comes out good and my alignment problem is fixxed too.

Are you doing this yourself? It's a job best left to doing on a lift.

I got my car running again. i wasted $500 but got it on the street again. the alignment issue was also fixxed. i think it was because of that bad front mount.

How is $500 a waste if you can drive your car again and have the other issues corrected as well? Unless the engine cradle wasn't the issue.
