It's been done a ton of times and covered and posted too many times. But as of recently I don't think anything has been updated concerning cost. I'm finally biting the bullet and doing everything for this rust belt maintenance item. The cost for all these parts has gone up considerably. Granted I know my car is creeping up on 15 yrs old, but 400 plus dollars for some washers and rubber spacers?

Heres what I'm finding, any other direction or sites I haven't found please let me know.

If there's another site I didn't try or find just let me know. I knew it wasn't going to be cheap, but come on. Should of done this 3yrs ago when it was a lot cheaper.

Only other option I know of requires that you modify the subframe to fit the Chevy S10 body mounts or something like these:
autozone/accessories/Energy-Suspension

That $450 after shipping is nuts. Which is why I did the hockey puck thing, which cost me $40 total.

I'm thinking of just doing the rubber mounts. I believe the bolts and washers/retainers are still solid. This car came from Daytona, Florida, so rust is very minimal on the under carriage. I have been oiling those locations to help keep them rust free and able to loosen when needed and not spin/break loose making 100x more work.
