Glad you got it fixed, anyway.
With how many offs?

I have ~ 83k on my car and one mount is bad. It broke in a ~115mph off at Sebring.. other than that the rest seem fine on my car too. Interesting that with the offs I've had (most FELT more violent than that ~115mph off), nothing else has really been damaged. I've hit a few potholes including one that bent the stock wheel and blew out a tire (at ~15mph if that).. bent a control arm in that one but never hurt a mount with that incident.. or the other potholes or the curbs

Still on the original axles too...

:knocks on wood:

Hmmm. Let's see, now.

Uphill Esses, high speed, straight off and straght back on. Stayed on the throttle. Not too bad, a little bumpy.

Turn 3 VIR, first attempt at trail braking a couple of years ago. Low speed, pretty gentle. Neil the Spec 7 driver was navigator seat, laughing at me.

That's all I can remember.

how much time do you put into the install. I mean that in a good way. and do you have the right axle grease or the right amount.

Sounds about right.
