Find the mount under "Engine" for your car, brand is Anchor, Part #2801. Use discount code from here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1677 . You should be able to get the mount to your door, in two business days, for about $70 Canadian after exchange rate, shipping, discount, and GST.

I asked NAPA and the dealer about this mount and I just about fainted when they told me the price, I think it was somewhere around or over $200 as well. :lol:

I would try to find a good used one. I got mine for 20.00 at the junk yard.

Be careful when you remove the mount if you haven't already. The bolts are threaded into welded nuts on the backside of the frame (you can't see them). Even once you crack them open, if they start to unthread with some resistance, STOP. I managed to break one of the horizontal welded nuts and my current mount is held on with three bolts. The stupid thing is that they were probably loose enough to pull the mount out, I just wanted a bit of extra clearance and *pop* they went.

Grease and penetrating spray will be your best friend here.

Thanks, but your link above just leads to a posting box. Could you fix it, please?

Thanks.

AutoPartsFreak.com has the mount for 75$. If you want to buy from a Canadian site.
