Either way there are many more things I'd be willing to upgrade before purchasing a bov. Any suggestions are appreciated ! Thanks! (in reply to Roto) Post #: 11

RE: Broken motor mounts ? - 3/21/2008 12:00:06 PM    popcorn   Posts: 20 Joined: 3/19/2008 Status: offline Once again, many thanks for all your help. I just came back from getting the spark plugs, oil filter, and motor oil. Will change out the oil today, and then go look fro some motor mounts. :) I'll try the dealership first, and then compare with online pricing, as neither autoparts store I went to carried them. I will definately look into the 6-point subframe brace and the anti-roll bar once I'm done swapping out the mounts, as well as the new tires. Thank you so much ! I'll be sure to post up some pictures soon. (in reply to Roto) Post #: 13

So.. No to the dealership. Thanks man ! (in reply to Roto) Post #: 15

RE: Broken motor mounts ? - 9/20/2008 12:38:11 PM    spanky   Posts: 2 Joined: 9/20/2008 Status: offline I must change my mounts myself, living on an island = no dealership or shop. I have the complete repair manuals but do not find specific motor mount change addressed... just another step in the engine removal section. I will have to use a jack to lift the engine. Is this practical? Must all the disconnections in the SAAB manual be necessary? I was hoping to change the mounts just like my ''78 Malibu: jack up engine, remove and replace mounts. Any and all Tips, suggestions, warnings, etc. will be greatly appreciated! 1984 900T 4Door Manual AirCond Thanks -Spanky (in reply to popcorn) Post #: 18
