I've got a worsening vibration issue that might be attributed to a motor mount - I'll find out for sure in ~ 3kmi when I have'er up on a lift for an oil change. Well, I've checked the mounts before, when the vibration first started, but nothing was obvious. Anyway, on to my question:
I've been searching for options and prices, and noticed that most online parts place's (i.e., partsgeek.com, rockauto, etc.) suppliers have very short warranties for mounts; all less than 12 months (the exception being AA and Autozone which offer their own limited lifetime warranty). How is it that the OEM mounts last 100kmi and sometimes 2-300kmi (and a decade+), but the aftermarket replacements are only warrantied for 12 months?
Finally, I need recommendations for a '97 Subaru with 205kmi. This is the preliminary list - what I've been looking at over the past few days - of what's available from the various sources.
Rock Auto
Anchor (P/N 9024):
Private Label Package: $25.79
Regular Inventory: $29.79
Beck/Arnley (P/N 1041336): $36.79
AA
Anchor (P/N 9024): $43
Partsgeek
DEA (P/N W0133-1653482): $39.75
NAPA
Balkamp (P/N BK 9024): $41.99
AutoZone
Duralast (P/N 9024): $56.99
DEA (P/N A6709): $55.99
I've got some time, and plan to keep this car for another 100k if I can, so I'd like something that will last as long as the original mounts. Thanks, guys!
