Need pics of actual VX engine mounts plz...

PK,
You make a good point.
For right now, I'm at a point where I just need it fixed enough to survive for about a year... cheaply.
I'll be doing an LS swap after I pay off the VX in February.
Even used ones would be ok at this point.
If I can find the proper one for the right side, I'll definitely go that route though.
Thanks!

Ahhhh... I just found that Amazon sells what looks to be the correct design for the right side mount!
They are made by an aftermarket company called Westar.
I'm going to order just the Right side, and keep the left side (DEA brand) that I already bought. The DEA mount was much cheaper (1/2 price).
The distributor for Amazon has 20 of them in stock.
I just tried searching for other sources for this Westar mount... there are none! Looks like they have the last batch.

BTW...
Here are the part numbers

Isuzu OEM:
Left Motor Mount:
8971041581
Right Motor Mount:
8971041571

(Aftermarket) Westar Motor Mounts:
Left
1028AMZ1935
Right
1028AMZ1934

Man... I hope this helps the next person... This was a PITA!
LOL

Is yours totally broken? I assume you have to pull the motor to get at them. Seems like a lot of work to do it again in a year...or two.

Yes, they are both toast. I can put a screwdriver into the mount and easily shift the engine side to side. There is a lot of vibration, shaking, and banging.
From what I can see, I can reach the mount bolts from the wheel wells. Remove the bolts, jack up the engine a little, swap the mounts...bolt them back up. Done.
In theory....

Just received this email from the supplier for Amazon:

"Our warehouse has notified us that the inventory in our system for this part was inaccurate and was wrong. We do not have these on the shelf and have pulled our offering on amazon. We will need to cancel the order which will be 100% refunded. "

ARGGGH.
