Sean,

My new motor mounts arrived Tuesday, I plan on replacing them
this weekend (If I can fix my jack).

There were two different part numbers for each mount, but they look
the same to my untrained eye.

Did yo notice anything different between the two mounts?
I assume you lifted your car up and put it onjack stands right?

Thanks
Chris
