replace motor mount while control arm is out?
This pertains to my front-suspension project chronicaled at https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/susp...ml#post6174125
Figured I should post it here too in the V6 forum since you guys are probably more attuned to the V6 motor mount issue.

While I'm in there...
How about motor mounts?
With the control arms out of the way, why not replace the motor mounts while I have easy access to the motor mount bolts?
The pair of mounts was only $11 shipped to my door from Advance Auto.

Looks like Summit sellls the same brand for about the same money.
Point being: Doesn't look like there are good/better/best choices for V6 motor mounts.
Looks like all they send is the mount. So have to re-use existing nuts and washers. Bad idea? --- should I plan on getting new nuts and washers? Anybody know the sizes so I can get nuts/washers ahead of time?
Is this notion of replacing motor mounts while I'm in there just a generally bad idea?
Appreciate any feedback.
