Junky motor mounts don't last

[Joe Mcclendon]

on my personal vehicle I have replaced all the engine mounts the left one keeps breaking have already replaced it five times I have customers that I have replaced their mounts Chevrolet mounts are so garbage I will not purchase them I will let the customer go buy them so I do not have to warranty a garbage product

Might help is you give us more information  M&Y etc.

I was thinking some punctuation might help.

 

I almost hyperventilated reading the sentence.

I did have a drivers side mount replaced under warranty on my 2008.

 

They are fluid filled, looks like engine oil when they start leaking.

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.

Next time fix them with Flex Seal...

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.
