Hey guys,
I've done some searching on the site, but needing a little bit more info.
I have pedders replacing a clicking bearing plate in my KH 'Rada.
They have now told me that my RHS engine mount is pretty shot and needs replacement.
I kinda believe them as a i have slight vibrations at idle and sometimes at higher speeds.
The only thing is that they're telling me there are no aftermarket engine mounts and quoted me about $315 for a genuine one fitted - which i think is a little steep.
From what I have read on the forums, there is ASP rubber that offer them (but that thread was a little old).
Can anyone recommend any other place I can check out, and also your experience with genuine oil filled mounts, and the Rubber/poly aftermarkets?
Thanks guys.

I paid for Genuine RHS (Drivers) Top Engine Mount in my first TJ, an Exec '01 model. Its been in for a year or so.
Have since bought a very rough TJ Sports ('02 Manual), and same engine mount was shagged. Have replaced it with a FleaBay aftermarket one - its been on maybe 6 months and seems to be going OK.
Genuine, IIRC, was about $240-00 and the FleaBay one was $115-00 plus postage. I will say this, the damaged OEM mount was quite complex, lots of effort gone into moulding ridges etc in the rubber - suspect these are also oil-filled? (there was certainly nothing like oil left in the one which came off the Sports - it was flogged to death).
BTW, I have kept at least one of the damaged/removed mounts, in case I ever want to try a solid Urethane-filled mount - as I think an AMC member does these?
Maybe someone has longer experience of having the aftermarket ones fitted - mine is 6-12months only and maybe 15-20K kms, with no signs of trouble yet.

what about trying your local wreckers, you might be able to pick a good one up from there

kelpro make the aftermarket mounts for the magnas, they are around 120-150 give or take, also with the fleabay ones, theres been a few on here that the inner crush tube wasnt straight and wouldnt go in.
ScreamingTE and Megatron does poly mounts atm.

I can do you a brand new mount for $120.00
PM me if you want one, these are all checked before I use them so they will not have the issues that the e-bay ones have where the rubber bush is off centre
