    Question Engine mounts -what to buy

    I have the engine out of my ZD 30, 2006. Are there better quality engine mounts than the genuine ? These seem to be around $140 each--after market around $90.
    They are not broken, but now seems to be the right time to do the replacement--engine out
    Thanks all

    if it aint broke why fix it? its not like they are really old and unless you have an extra 500 horses from standard it dosn't seem worth doing, save your coin mate....cheers...

    There isn't massive reporting of Engine Mount failures for the 3 Litre .... in fact I haven't heard of any ......

    I wouldn't bother if they look OK, but that is entirely up to you

    Bit more expensive to set up but easier cheaper to just replace the bushes when worn http://www.superiorengineering.com.a...ts&x=-918&y=-3

    I replaced mine on my 2001 ZD30, rang a wrecker who had a low km vehicle so got a good deal. Amazing how much difference it made from the old ones.
