Looking around, it appears that you can buy 3.5" bushings by themselves off Ebay and Amazon. The trick will be finding one with the correct offset for the center hole. You could try emailing this Ebay vendor to see if they had any advice on what bushing to use, since they seem to stock a lot of the 3.5" bushings:

Another thing you might try, although it could be a long shot, is to see if there's a Motion Industries warehouse near you. MI stocks all manner of bushings and bearings for all sorts of machinery. With this being a standard outside diameter, they may actually have a bushing that will work.

Thanks alot ,i will check things out and post the outcome for everyone!

If they don't have it loose......buy the $15 mount/bracket and press out and into the XJ bracket.

Go to NAPA and see if they have one.

Check to see if a spring bushing will fit........use your imagination.

Thanks ...will do.

This is the route i went! Jeep Grand cherokee v8 isolators . The catch is they have a 1/2 inch bolt hole , at least mine do. The original bolt diameter on my rig is 7/16 so i got some spacers to change them to 1/2. They look too work fine. I could have drilled the engine side mounts to except new bolts also, but decided to go this route. Now to the bench vice!!

NO WAY!

Hey im the guy that had the same problem!!!
Im the one who started that other thread. I did fill them with Urethane and to be honest it made the vibrations worse!

Pushing out the mount was my next step but i got busy with school and other work. I just did the Leaf springs, shackles, fornt and rear shocks, sway bar bushings and end links. I am about to swap out the isolators like you. Do you have any part numbers? Thanks in advance. This motor mount ordeal has been a real PIA!!! Same with the transmission mount.

Thanks for returning and providing that info. To help the next person who has this question, do you have a part number? Can you indicate which years of the Grand Cherokee have the correct mounts? Also, a link to that video would be nice.

Hey JeepXstreme, I know is an old post but I was trying to see if you had closed the loop on this issue. I have a 2000XJ 2.5 as you do and of course have the same problem. Did you end up buying these that you have shown and pressing them out and then into you existing brackets? If so, how did that work out?
Thanks
