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, not really a tech question but has anyone found a good 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.

Try mixing rubber and poly mounts.
Recently replaced mine and the 2 rear mounts split on my too.
Used 45ft-lbs also. I didn't tighten the replacement as much the last time. And now that its done i think i would have used poly mounts on the front and rear mounts and stayed with rubber on the inside mounts #2 & #3. That should make the mounts much more rigid for handling and nearly unbreakable while the inner mounts would still give some squish for a softer ride.
Just a thought,
