What manufacturer makes genuine MB motor mounts for an 82' 300TD? I know of countless aftermarket brands but who makes the expensive ones the dealerships give you? They won't tell me the brand!

Has anyone heard of some German "Phoenix" brand as sold by Pelicanparts.com?

They say the brand is an OEM supplier and are "exact replicas" w/o the MB Star

I don't want mounts that will wear out in 1-2 years but I don't know what the best OEM one is!

Get the lemforder ones with the blue dots from all parts express here at peachparts. Should be around $20 each.

They are exactly the same as the ones I recently bought in an MB box for a LOT more...

Definitely allparts. Posted the link just above. $18.75 or so each.

Check engine shocks and mounts while at it... or even remove one first to check out if they warrant replacement.
