Nah rubbish, ya just do one at a time for the top ones & the lower 2 can be done in one hit - as they sit on the same crossmember that has to be dropped out. Expect to pay around $400+ from Mitsi on the mounts thou...

I have a feeling they may differ depending on whether its a tip or manual, but I can check that on CAPS. Either way, there's no real point going & putting a UAS poly mount in when the remaining 3 mounts are still rubber... 1 stiff mount will cause the other 3 to wear strangely & probably quicky. The existing rubber one has lasted 10 years, so a replacement one from Mitsu will probably last just as long.

Now thats interesting. I have just taken apart the two wrecks and I have 2 distinctly different sets of Engine mounts. One set are a lot larger than the other. One was an auto and the other a manual. Both are pre facelift. Why would this be.......

Auto box is a lot heavier than the manual
