    Flip the upper dog bone mounts 90*, too...that'll usually help lower mount life as well and pull everything together.

    Usually the fluid filled ones (hydraulic) are the ones that always fail because when they tear or crack, the fluid leaks out and the mount loses it's structure. Get a solid rubber option (you have to ask for them and when they bring the mount out, shake it. You'll be able to hear the fluid in it), so it doesn't fail in the future. Flipping the upper mounts will help with lower mount life.

    No, I mean 90*.

    If you flip it 180* then it's just back to it's original position.
