Well alot of you know, I had a nasty clunk and couldnt fugure it out ... come to find out it was my motor mount. The motor was lifting literally 2 inches off the frame.

 

what motor mount? lol that thing is beyond done.

 

YA Xj's can go bad, ZJ's eat them like candy..

 

That looks familiar to me. I had one that looked just like it.

 

so did that thing make a similar noise when puting it in gear/ starts and stop as a U joint would??

 

I don't understand why Brown Dog doesn't offer ZJ mounts...

 

Well I can honestly say aftermarket ones you get at say autozone or something are crap. I put a set from Advanced Auto on when I replaced the motor and they are already going bad. I am going to get a set from Brown Dog Industry.. Much strong and beefier and really not a ton more. I think around $70 for a set. I thing the cheapos cost me like $20-$30...

 

Link??

 

Sure BDI motor mounts can be found at..

Just to add if your motor mounts are bad do yourself a favor and also replace the tranny mount. Trust me there...

 

No. It was making a huge CLUNK every time I would go over the slightest bump on the trail. It was the motor slamming into the frame.

 

 

That's what mine looked like a few months ago.

I bought some el cheapo ones from Rock Auto for $11 just to get me by. Once these crap out I'll be getting the BDI ones... if I have the money.

 

had both mine and the tranny mount replaced with OEM parts in the last month and a 1/2... both were pretty bad, and the tranny mount was shot- at 106k

 

CHanged mine with the crap autozone ones about a year ago they are still holding up pretty well. If they die I will prolly go with M.O.R.E mounts!

I have a write up in the write-up section for doing motor mounts if anyone is unsure how to do them.

 

mine snapped off the motor so i put the old 2 door motor in my new 4 door
