There’s nothing wrong with fluid filled motor mounts. They’re superior in handling driveline vibrations when properly tuned to the other mounts it’s working with.
Here’s the real issue. Replacing just one of the mounts when the others are also due to be changed. The newest mounts work the hardest and isolate the brunt of the vibration. Guess what occurs when the new mount is doing all the work? Yup, you and your money get separated.
The other factor is that there was an influx of inferior Chinese parts let into the States approx 2005. There are Chinese parts made to the standard but they’re usually only from the dealer’s own stock. There’s too many parts retailers that knowingly or unknowingly selling the subpar Chinese parts as OEM. The H3 (V8) is a rare beast and it’s cool that mount has been discovered as an alternative to to the fluid filled (hydraulic) version that either works or fails, with no in between service.
Full race set ups use urethane or frick’n solid mounts engineered to deal with the stress. Welcome to the fillings fall out of your head club like Ivan “Ironman“ Stuart racing across Baja. All I’m saying is, just like suspension, brake, tire and engine components, you’ve got to use prudence and swap them out as a unit not a part.
