I haven't had the opportunity to put this on yet - I decided to do all the shocks and springs first (which was a massive nightmare :lol: ). I'm hesitant to even put it on, now, to be honest. The only good thing is that if this one fails, it's the easiest one to fix - I don't think I would go for a URO mount for the other two. :P

That is the OEM part # that I replaced the aftermarket one of unknown brand with. The aftermarket one I have has the shim. I paid about $75 for it.

No worries. This is useful - the more I look at that URO mount, and the more we talk about them, the more sceptical I become. And the more my little bundle of Swedish rumble will benefit, I suspect. :lol:

I believe both of those you posted have the shim - one is just pictured with it not attached and one with. I seem to recall that there is some slight difference in the angle and location of the mounting holes. I'm sure someone here knows for certain.
