Question A4 Trans mount

Well i needed a new trans mount so I went to Autozone and got one for $14. It looks different that the one I took out but wow what a price and it comes with a lifetime warrenty. Everywhere I looked they were like $74. Has anyone ever used one of these?

Yes it looks kinda weak but I thought I'd give it a shot. The original broke at the point where the rubber attaches to the steel...not a very good design if you ask me.

My stock mount ripped where the rubber joins the metal as well. I also bought a cheap china replacement and the rubber ripped in 2 in about a week, then I bought a Korean one and the rubber is thicker and even wraps around the metal and has been good for about 8 months.

I got an autozone special for 15 bucks, no problems yet. Lifetime warranty as well.

I don't remember the brand name of the one thats one my car right now, but I just checked and the one that broke is an "anchor" brand. I seem to think the one on my car might be a TRW but I'm not 100% on that.
