Default Poly front Diff Mount

I bought an Energy Suspension complete poly kit that does everything. The front differential mount was thinner then the OEM rubber mount. It caused the pinion angle to be to high. I ordered a new poly mount from anther source and it was the same thickness as the first. I used a rubber mount and it is starting to have radial cracks even though it is only installed on a rolling chassis and never been on the road.

Does anyone know if there is a supplier of the correct thickness poly mount or a better quality rubber one?

Thanks
Tom

I found the fit of the Prothane kit wasn't good either and went with a stock rubber one

One side was about 1/2" and the other side was 3/4"-1"

When I changed the rear in my car and installed the urethane front bushing, I just trimmed the bushing down till I got the alignment right. I used a small band saw to do the job, but it can be sanded or cut with a hand saw as well.
