Anyone have any ideas here?
I just tried to swap the mounts and they definately wont go on the other way.
their seems to be a lot of force required to make the mounts line up properly, which I feel is not right.

I had a similar problem and had to modify one mount to make the engine sit right. not all wcxm are a good quality. my longest mount is on the carby side

I think all the manufacturers out there doing WCXM thought they knew what they were doing with the measurements...
As noexit said all WCXM are not the same, the engine mounts should come from the same manufacturer as the WCXM. Atleast you would have half the chance all would be good...

Thanks guys,
Unfortunately I don't know the history so i am not sure where it came from.
I guess I will try it and see if it runs ok

Question. Does the current distortion on the bushes match the pattern on the worn ones? If it does it may be a fault that's been in the XM since new.

Fordsy,
Your right the way the xmember lines up does distort the new bushes along the same lines as the old bushes.
It takes quite some effort to install the mounts with the new bushes,
I feel it should siton the bushes without undue stress, So I am Keen to work out the best solution, I wonder if a different set of engine mounts would help/ improve the situation.
The rear mount is new and mounts up correctly So I believe the engine to be in the correct position.
option 2 is to remove the rear mount and see where the mounts locate the engine.

Option 3 could always be to install a standard crossmember and engine mounts.

Ok substitute the word moon for WCXM !
Cost are about the same!!

Could clean up an old Xmember and install, just more work :(

Two sides to every coin. [:x)]

so your positive that swapping the brackets over dont work? as you can see the passenger side bracket is longer then the drivers! whole engine is moved to drivers side and it seems to be caused by the brackets! see pic. are the brackets custom made? dammit pic wont load
