# Motor mount problem... it keeps breaking!!! help!!!

Posted by DigitalMax ('89 GXE with the Digital Options) on September 25, 2003 at 21:41:48: I've replaced the front motor mount 3 times with one that I get at autozone. It $60 with a lifetime warranty and my dad owns a repair shop so the labor is free (thank God). My dad says I'm too hard on the throttle. My Max has 200,000 miles on it now and is in near 100% mechanical condition, but I'm told that older engines product more torque. That's why I think the mount keeps breaking, b/c I'm not racing my car. I barely ever accerate over 3k rpm from a dead stop, so why is my mount breaking? Is it a POS that autozone sells? I believe that autozone's part is shit, but since it had a lifetime warranty it wasn't a big deal, but I broke it agin now, that's 4 times, and I'm getting aggrevated. Is there anything I can do to remedy this? Replys: Re: Forgive me for my spelling errors... It's been a long day :) n/m Digital Max ('89 GXE) 22:12:56 9/25/2003 (0) ....yeah spend the extra 40 bucks or whatever it is on an OEM one...nm James (VE 5spd ) 21:46:03 9/25/2003 (0)
