There is a guy on PPBB who remanufactures these engine mounts. Might save you a few bucks.
His name is Pedro and he is in Florida.

Thanks for posting the photo. It might help someone else here in diagnosing theirs.

Regards, Maurice.

No problemo...I removed it myself. It takes about 45 minutes to get it off. 15mm wrench and deep socket required, car on jackstands. I am waiting on parts for my Variacam solenoid and will post pictures of how to change in car...I am not a professional mechanic but do all my own vehicle repairs. Forums such as these are very informative for new owners. I belong to a couple of Diesel forums for my trucks and they have saved me thousands over the years...

I took it to the shop, and the guy said I needed a lower control arm, and strut mounts. The price after labor was quoted around $1300.00. He said the control arm with labor is around $900.00 alone. It sounds like he was quoting me the price of an adjustable control arm. Does anyone know if the OEM part is adjustable or not? I found some non-adjustable control arms for a couple hundred vs. $700.00.

What are the symptoms that you are experiencing to lead them to believe those are the culprits? I'm not saying that the diagnosis is necessarily wrong, but you never started in the thread what your issues were. Maybe it's the motor mount, and not a suspension issue. It would just stink if they replaced those suspension pieces and then your problem was still there. JMHO.
