    Why is there 2 giant spacers on the passenger side old motor mount.bushings? None on other side. Had to cut these out. The metal sleeve that usually stays put in bushings pressed in to these pacers. Same part numbers on new bushings. Do I keep these out?

    The steel spacer keeps you from over tightening the bushing and squeezing them out. They should be the same both sides. Someone put rubbers in one side without the spacers.

    I see what your saying. The super thick washers do not belong. Only the 1/8" ones top and bottom.

    Ok thanks again man. Left them out. I’m thinking someone installed them do to the fact the bushings where flattened out instead of replacing them.
