I noticed a broken motor mount on the passenger side of my W200. I have a 318 Poly under there. I've been told that Mopar motor mounts really suck and I should consider either polyurethane or interlocking mounts. I think I prefer the interlockers as the polyurethane might make it vibrate too m

Frank,
Since your truck originally had a 318LA, the original 318LA mounts were in questionable condition, one was broken.
We installed new 318LA mounts, in the same location.
Obviously, your Poly has WAY more torque than the 318LA. so that may be why the new mounts failed.
One concern with installing Poly type mounts is that the engine/driveline geometry will change as Poly mounts will raise the motor about 1.5".
We might need to fab something stronger for the Hollister Mud Pit Champion.....= )
