Hey all, just wanted some opinions on trans mounts. So far Mopar I've read isn't worth the money because they aren't manufactured in Canada anymore, so quality is crap.

I thought maybe napa would be good?
advanced has terrible reviews for their brand to.

If you are going the factory route Omix-Ada or Crown Automotive are good options.


If you're going for a heavy duty poly mount you could see if XJwonders has one available.

There are similar ones on ebay and amazon that I imagine are just fine.

I personally like the zinc plating on this one:

You might want to steer clear of the daystar style mounts. They are just a brick of polyurethane, and are too stiff in my opinion.

Anchor brand is one to be avoided. Folks have had good luck with Napa, I had a Mopar brand it it was good as well.

Nope.

When I first installed it and posted about it here, someone said "that noise you hear in the morning is just your exhaust pipe hitting your crossmember". What!? I of course responded, that there didn't seem to be any problems with the Anchor mount I just installed (it had been in for about 1 hour). Sure enough, by the next morning the mount had settled enough that the exhaust was already rumbling on the crossmember.

Nooooooo to anchor mounts!
They are designed like utter crap. Whoever is in charge over there needs their hands cut off

I gear the Omix and Crown mounts are OK, but just go with Mopar. Or StinkyFab if you want something a bit more solid
