Dave, those aluminum mounts are weak in the first place. I snapped mine a long time ago and it got worse as time went on. I contacted Ed and had asked him about it. The polished dogbones from 3800 are a little different from the stock dogbones. Most people tend to over tighten them and the aluminum mount bends in as it gets tighter. with the vibrations in the engine, it can cause them to snap.

The best advice I can give you is what Ed told me, make sure you tighten them, but not overly tight. Also, if you can get a washer to act as a spacer for those to go between the bushing and the mount, it'll help a little also.

Hopefully you can get a replacement in somewhat quick and get it all put together. Hope this helps.

that part only looks to be $22 for one side and $52 for the other, from one of the online GM parts retailers. Not sure which one is in the picture.

David did you use one of the places I PM'd you. If so I want to check with them on my referral fee.:p
The drivers side one was the cheaper of the two. Glad that was the one.:th_thumb-up:
 


Maybe this time...polish this weak piece of pop-tin aluminum instead of plating it.
