Don’t punish yourself. Most of the online EPCs don’t reflect supercessions or updates to part numbers. One thing that is nice is the “where used” part that allows you to see what chassis’ the part is used on. Not exact, but eliminates a lot of the confusion. Dan > On Nov 30, 2016, at 2:37

Thanks Fred! According to my notes, I replaced the motor mounts in 2010, which was only about 30k miles ago. I'm pretty sure these mounts came from ByMBParts (RIP) and that they are Lemforder. I'll scratch around for a receipt from Rusty or Gary and try to confirm. - Max Charleston
