Broke another engine mount ( bonnevilee replacement for a gtp? )

I apologize, i did not mouth off to bill. Just a little frustrated that i can't figure this out. I know how important bill is!

Here are some pictures. I am sorry it took so long. That part number you just gave me looks like the right one. Not sure why they call it a strut mount though.

I think the dog bones are called torque struts or something so that's the strut mount?

i have 3 of these. 2 spares. Never broke one. And I can't say for sure if they make one for the driver side like they do for the passenger side.

edit also for drastic measure you can loosen all 4 cradle bolts and put a bfpb (big fvckin pry bar) in the front amd twist the cradle right or left to maybe help line up the top mount better.

To add onto this at least with the aluminum subftame . The two holes on the passenger sides you can stick a 1/2 extention in and then tighten the subframe bolts to ensure good alignment of the subframe

bingo my moneys on crooked subframe after same thing breaking multiple times and for the love of god dont tighten dogbones with airtools.....

over tightened ftmfw

You can tighten with air tools, like anything you do... torque it appropriately. You don't take your largest, mean Jean air gun and hold the trigger til the mounts screams for mercy. You use a technique called "throttling" aka moderation on the trigger.

Maybe throw a couple washers in there to take up the slack. On my stock dogbones they fit real tight into the mount. I don't think a 19 ton gorilla could crack it. Yours seem to be too loose which allows the ears on the mount to flex in and finally crack. Of course cast doesn't like to flex much :)

Thank you for that link. I wish i would of gone to zzp first and ordered that but i ended up getting the new one for 45 dollars. I'm not sure if its a gxp replacement or not but we will see how she holds up and i will make sure not to overtighten them either.
