Looks like you can't. Even the Prothane website is devoid of any technical information.

Those "seem" nice, but I'd wait until they are proven. I've had urethane motor mounts crack every time on iolder ford motor mounts (much different design than gen3 gm v8 motors). This is a totally different part, but much more time consuming to replace than a motor mount and it can create more problems if it lets go. I just don't trust urethane in some applications.

I checked with Prothane, and all the information they can give is what they have on their website. I know they make quality parts, and I'm sure this is a great replacement part, I just wish they had some more info on them.
