I tried to get the Prothane rear motor mount insert into my car today, and it ended in disaster. Well, not really, but you could imagine. I found out that the factory rear mount's mounting hole is actually offset, unlike the Prothane insert which is centered. So I wasted $30 or so on a mount I can't use... or can I? The fact that the original one was such a pain in the ass to re-install leads me to believe that the difference in mounting positions would make the prothane install impossible. Has anyone tried this? I'm afraid that, even if I do get it in, the different position would put undue stress on the engine and transmission and do some serious damage.
I should have known, when I bought the thing and it was called "rear or left engine mount", that I'd have problems.
Does anyone have experience with other brands of inserts? Are the others' offset?
