Body mount install help needed.
I am replacing some body mounts. Is there a torque spec or procedure to tightening them or just snug em down till they bulge slightly?
Also, has anyone found a good quality grade (not poly) body mount. I have replaced mine twice in 4 years (same vendor). Again they are cracked & spider webbed. Heck they look 25 yrs old.

I torqued mine to 45 lbs, scared to go any more. Mine are the polly ones, and after a week 3 of them cracked in half. So i keep checking them to see what shape they are in. I started from the middle of the car, then worked my way out making sure they were even all the way around. going no more than 5 ft lbs at a time.

Mine are rubber, I'll go 45 & give a visual evaluation at that point.
I cant beleive the crud these replacement mounts are made of. They are dry rotted or just cracked after 2 seasons and look 25 yrs old, twice now!! My local GM dealer said if I can find the GM part number he thinks he may be able to get some OE GM's somewhere???
