    Now I've only changed the motor mounts on these only once; is it the motor mount that broke or the mount welded to the vehicle that broke?

    The tabs that are on the mount that are welded to the frame.

    That'd be stupidly overpriced if it was just for 1 mount considering that's $10 in steel total

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    just how did you manage to break these?

    A engine swap someone did a very poor job welding them on?

    I can understand tearing the left side if the horse power has been really increased.

    im not sure I just bought this truck about a year ago. I was looking at the bottom of the mount and it looks odd to me. It doesn’t look like I snapped it looks like it was grinded somehow for some reason. What do you think?

    The metal look fresh so I would assume the mount recently broke

    True. The rubber looks old though.
