Isn't this a fantastic country? We get people from all over the world who bust their butts just for the chance to come here, maybe get a green card, maybe more. That's fantastic. Some of them work very very hard at stuff such as learning an entire new language that might be nothing at all like the language they grew up using.

Gotta respect them for that.

I trust that my message is clear.

You could, but you are hardly doing yourself or the car a favor by replacing it with stock mounts. At least opt for Group N mounts.

The dealer in Richmond, VA told me that this was a national problem and that Subaru has redesiged a new mount but have not but it into production yet. The dealer said it would be 8 to 10 days before they are made and shipped out. So they gave me a "sporty" Chevy Malibu to drive.

Default Possible Causes?

Are there any similarities to what may be causing the failed mounts? I have an '06 and have been to a few auto crosses and practiced several launches and no broken mounts at all. This has been since last October so wondering if maybe a certain build date came with faulty mounts?

I have about 250 auto-x runs on my 06, including about 20 full blown 5K clutch dumps (Pro Solo), and no issues here. I did upgrade the pitch mount thinking that might help prevent larger damage if the mounts did go.

So we will see...
