joeld Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 I've got to replace the front mount on my 96 GP with 3100 engine. I've read a lot of the old threads on this, and looks like a few people advise not using "Anchor" brand name. I plan on using the OEM style, not the solid type. Any advise on name brand? Thanks Joel Quote
xtremerevolution Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 I used the Anchor engine mounts. Those were the only ones available on rockauto for my regal. No problems so far, but I suppose time will tell. I paid $16 and $22 for the mounts, and ended up getting so dirty I looked black. But hey, it was cheap. Quote
joeld Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Posted August 24, 2009 I assume for that price the front mount was solid? Joel Quote
xtremerevolution Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 I assume for that price the front mount was solid? Joel I'm not sure how you can tell. It felt pretty solid and pretty heavy. Quote
88red4cyl Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 I would definitely recommend going with the solid... I special ordered one from Auto Zone, and it is soooo much nicer than the hydraulic mount was.. Plus, I'll never have to replace it again... Andrei, the mount you got was hydraulic (I just checked their site)... It's up to $28 now though.. Quote

Andrei, the mount you got was hydraulic (I just checked their site)... It's up to $28 now though.. Nope, still $21. It is a hydraulic in the front, and solid in the rear. front: ANCHOR Part # 2697 $21.79 rear: ANCHOR Part # 2676 $15.90 Quote

White93z34 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 yes. I like solid mounts far more, I moved to one, no noticeable difference from a new hydraulic one, and its not gona split and puke fluid everywhere someday. Quote
joeld Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Posted August 24, 2009 Well, I screwed up typing the year model, it's a 95! Sorry about that. OK, looks like you guys like the solid mount better. I just didn't want any vibration after replacing it. I'll check around at the parts houses here and see what they got! Thanks for the replies Joel Quote

Thanks for the replies Joel Vibration from a solid mount is going to be negilible since it is solid rubber... Something like poly on the other hand, is where you get into the vibration issues...

White93z34 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 yeah you have to dig deep some places to find the solid mount, funny thing is it is almost always cheaper. Quote
Crazy K Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 since i actually need one now... someone find and link one???? Quote
88red4cyl Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 since i actually need one now... someone find and link one???? Auto Zone part # is EM-2796S... That's for my 95 Lumina 3100... Not sure if its the same for other Ws or not... Quote
joeld Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Posted September 11, 2009 I finally got some extra time and changed the motor mount. I did go with the solid type from Napa. I've only driven a few miles tonight, but seems to be very smooth at idle now with no vibration. Once again thanks for the replies! Joel Quote
