Question
I have a 98 buick park ave. that needs new motor mounts and we are having a very hard time finding them under $350 ea. For some reason this year must have a problem because they are very hard to find. I heard that the LeSabre and the Bonneville have same parts, do you know if this might be a solution for us, if not what is your advice?

Answer
I'm assuming you've tried Autozone, both in the Store and Online http://www.autozone.com/ as well as Advance Auto Parts stores, and their Online counterpart, Partsamerica.com http://www.partsamerica.com/ . The high cost could be also due to the Mounts be liquid filled for extra vibration dampening, and there are no subtitutes I'm aware of in that case.
