I had to replace the passenger side engine mount again. Job complete. 200 1989

About one year ago, I purchased both engine mounts from eEuroparts.com. I replaced them both and eventually noticed that the passenger side (below the oil filter) mount was collapsing, i.e., sort of way stretched out and sinking. Yesterday, I replaced this mount with one that I purchased from voluparts.com. It was brand MTB and came in a blue box.

The old mount wasn't separated and, to be honest, I really couldn't tell any difference between the new MTB and the old one.

To replace, I loosened both engine mount bolts (drivers and passengers side), removed the oil filter, and used a small jack and block of wood to lift up the passenger side of the oil pan. I carefully watched to verify the drivers side mount wasn't getting stretched or pulled. The only problem I had was getting a wrench between the steering rack and the sway bar on the front bolt. The whole job took me about two hours.

The new engine mount doesn't sag. The old one did. I suppose there are different grades of rubber??? I dunno.
