I have searched everywhere, I even called Advance auto and they didn't know.
I think the motor mounts in my '92 XJ need to be changed, I keep hearing 'thunking' when I go over bumps, potholes etc. Jeep has 140,000 miles on it, and previous owner did some light wheeling with it.
I'm pretty sure the exaust need to be re-done too, but for right now, new motor & tranny mounts are what's in my budget.
So how many motor mounts do I need to buy? I should also change the tranny mount at the same time correct??
And thanks to the great right ups, I now know I will also need to pick up some OFA rings too.
I'm new to Jeeps and I have learned alot from reading everyones posts, I especially love the DIY & budget Mods.

Agreed, you have two motor mounts. Its advisable to change the trans mount when changing the motor mounts as wear on one will effect the others.
This is a great upgrade for the stock manifold when your ready to fix the exhaust. http://www.ineedparts.com/auto-parts...-manifold.html

you should be able to visually inspect your motor mounts for torn/cracked rubber.
the tranny mount, if you can get under the jeep and push up on the t-case to feel for any amount of lift, if you can lift it, you need a new tranny mount.
check the obvious, shocks and exhaust first. (usually hits the crossmember).
