Lower motor mount catastrophe

Feel for you there buddy. All of us who do our own work have stuff like this happen, and it's the absolute pits to have to bring a DIY job into a shop and pay big $$ to have it fixed. Unfortunate that this happened at a time when you can't even take a shot at fixing it yourself . Hope the final tab doesn't go off-the-charts.

Update: the car does need a new cradle. They don't want to weld to it, as they say it's too much of a liability.

I have one on the way from a wrecking yard. $120 with a sway bar still attached from a 2007. There going to do the swap today.

I could save money by doing it myself.. but as I said, it's just to cold, and if any of the bolts are frozen (rusted) and break it could take me more time than I have. Better for me to have a shop do it, along with the front end alignment, and any extra parts (bushings) it might end up needing.

I was hoping I might be getting an updated sway bar, but it looks like my 2006 should have had the 18mm as well.
