Today I replaced the firewall mount as well as the upper engine mount. The upper engine mount that I had replaced originally was the incorrect diameter and easily moved sideways within the bracket. I was not happy and got another one from my supplier.

Let’s talk Rubber OEM Engine Mounts

How to push in the rubber (not poly) upper torque mount bushing.

I ordered a new upper engine mount and installed it with no problem, only to find that the circumference was out of spec and the entire bracket could move from side to side.(this is why the installation was easy, it just slipped in) I was not satisfied and the supplier gave me a new mount.

Out of spec mount:
New mount:
