I got one of my acdelco's today in the mail, too late to cancel.
YOU WEREN'T KIDDING.
The studs on the mount are crooked as **** and they look like they are just glued in place. The entire mount is made of this age rotted hard plastic type stuff and feels as rigid as an ice cream cone.
I got some acdelco swaybar end links as well and they are pretty shitty too.
How is this stuff passing any type of standard?
Really hoping i can reuse the old mounts, we'll see this weekend.

Alright so I'm just about to order the Moogs from Rock Auto. Don't want to take the risk on any of the AC Delcos from there. I take it that there's not really a way around replacing these for a car with 100,000 miles? I have to ask since I'm a little worn out on spending money lol.
Also, I can't seem to find the Moog isolators that I need. Anyone have a link to these? Or do they come with the mounts? Thanks!
edit:
Just checking, are these the items that I need?

Napa used to be the best in aftermarket mounts, but now they look like cheap Gabriel etc... Make sure with the Moog mounts to chase the threads, they have rubber and dirt in the threads, so do that before you mount them. The last set I put on said made in India ![Cry](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cry.gif)
Use plenty of anti seize. The isolators are listed under "Coil Spring" in the Rock Auto catalog.
