^^^^^ yup. I put in anchor upper and lower torque struts, did the alignment procedure and still had vibrations. Took out the anchor parts and put in mopar, did the alignment and my neon is very smoooooth. It is also important to get a mopar center mount from a vibration and longevity standpoint.

Good point. The OEM center mount or, right side engine mount as they call it is filled with oil. I'm pretty sure the after market mounts are just solid rubber. Plus that mount is a bear to get to, so might as well do it right to avoid having to do it again for a long time.

The aftermarket mounts are rubber. Anchor themselves told me the factory mount isn't fluid filled, so their replacement isn't either.

The way that you use "dodgy" is absolute and complete rubbish. More-so annoying than anything.
