Default New RS4 mounts on my 01 2.7MT fixed the pickup truck ride

I thought I was due for another set of control arms at 142k miles. While changing my oil, I noticed a leak from driver side engine mount, and upon further inspection, saw the APR snub mount also had separated. KMD Tuning talked me into a pair of RS4 mounts and OEM snub mount. What a difference, rides like new. What I thought was a loose suspension was a bouncing engine.

So if ride is getting rough, before you throw in another set of control arms, check for leaky engine mounts. Looks like a purplish oil with a slimy feel.

Good luck getting it done for $400. Each mount was $120 and you have to raise engine and move stuff around to get the darn things out.

Parts are already ordered (not rs4), and the receipt is printed.400 bucks even for parts and labor.
