I have a 97' GP GT and the passenger cv clamp keeps breakin off because it hits the frame. I have replaced control arm with new ball joint and tie rods. I have also replaced bottom motor mount and top 2 engine stabilizers and it still breaks off. Can anyone help me out and tell me what I am missing?:confused:
 


Well gchans007 ... on mine it was the bottom engine mount, mine was passenger side. Big pain in the behind doing the change, in fact the first mount I bought was slightly smaller, but I put it in anyways, it worked, but the clamp was just missing the frame. After a bit, it started hitting again, so went to wreckers and got one off of them, now fixed!!! Still had a bit of a clunk, turned out to be the wrong CV axle, I accidentally got one off a 98 GTP, and it's about 2 inches or so shorter then the 97 GTP I drive... go figure! ENjoy Your ride..
 
For the difference was the brace that connected the lower mount to the engine. Mine lost two bolts. Should have four. The brace is u shaped. Got the new bolts at hardware store
