I don't know the brands. Back when I was less discriminating (8+ years ago) I bought a lot of stuff on ebay. The "new" SD motor mounts were not an improvement but several rubber bits that I installed in my 79 TD were great; it rode like a new car. Some comments here (esp from Gary) make me wonder if it would be smart to replace 30+ year old OEM suspension rubber or am I better off with the old stuff. In any case, I think I will need to do the flex disks and probably the center bearing support. Unfortunately, the 82 SD gets little use but that fortunately that gives me plenty of time to decide and act. Scott
