    hi all

    please help me with my motor mount problems.

    i was researching along time and found out that mavs hav left/right different mounts with same number which is type 2316.

    so i asked rockauto parts when i order 2 mounts if they will send me both sides.
    they said yes, so i ordere 2.

    today i received 2x the left side mount.

    asking to replace one they said its the same for both side, either right or left.

    that can not be true, the design would be stupid to have 2 different but not need them. and the holes would twist the engine in my opinion...

    someone please can confirm me that left and right side mounts are different, like mirrored?!?

    the longer one of the ears have to go to the back both sides, right?

    thanks

    left / right is the same, mounting holes on the block are offset to compensate.

    ok, thanks for that info. :Handshake
    ill have to check my block then.

    always thougt the offset is to give the position of the engine, so it would have to be mirrored.
    but wasnt thinking of the mounting holes on the block not centered...
    i learn something everyday :clap:
