Drag racing and leaving the line under boost will do that to them Joe!  Either your frame is tweaked or you need a chain to keep the engine from lifting while running up full power.  We used to run a chain with turnbuckle on our Buicks from the alternator bracket to the frame/control arm back in the day.  Alternatively, next time around, use the Hummer H2 mounts as they are solid.  Mine are original at 150K and do occasionally drag race.

While I understand your frustation, why not look for an alternative part.

Buying the same part makes no sense.

My 2 cents.

Guess if this is a common issue I will need to keep an eye out on my 08 with 160k miles on the factory mount. Has to go out any day if your story is true about many people having the issue.

 

I'll just order the mounts below and have them on a shelf waiting to be installed.
