Replacement Shock Mount Options?
 
I need to replace the front upper shock mount and I do not want to replace the mount with something as flimsy as the original. Anyone with some experience with OEM replacements and/or urethane mount kits?

Kevin is right on with that type of kit, just make sure all the metal plates at the top are in good shape. Low mileage car but still replacing the shocks because of the lower bushing being a very weak link in this system, is always a good idea. I did see the lower bushing has come down in price on a few sites, it was more than the shock for years, still more than 1/2 the cost.

I am next, I cant believe some one put all new ball joints,tie rod end, and control arm bushings, but left the shock mounts alone and the shock bushings! Now I have to take all that new stuff off and get a alignment. Thank goodness, I don't have to fight with that upper wishbone long bolt, both mine are brand spanking new.
