Thread: Broken GM Engine Mount Strut Bracket

I noticed my engine was rocking a bit to much when I would go from reverse to drive. So I checked under the hood.

Its on the passenger side in the front of the engine, connected to the dog bone. I guess it is aluminum , it is silver.

I know how to replace the part, I'm just wondering what would cause it to break. I don't want to replace it and it breaks again...


New GM Engine Mount Strut Bracket Grand Prix Impala Regal Lacrosse..Here's a link. It broke about 1/4 inch above the mounting whole on the right side, where it bolts to the upper intake.

Yeah Its a 2001 prix non supercharged 150,000 miles.... I guess I should replace the rubber mounts in the dog bone brackets..Ill check around locally to see if I can find it cheaper first. Thanks

Yeah go to a pull a part type yard, it isn't bad to get to just have to pull off the ICM, at least if you get one off once yourself you are ready to go on yours.

Thanks guys.

Mind finely broke on the pass. side now here comes the good question....just exactly how do you get that one hex female bolt out? its right up next to an injector and its angle is toward the intake manifold.
