I have a 2003 Stratus with 2.4L engine

I had to replace the water pump in it "not fun at all" got very thing back togather fine,

but the motor mount bracket i am having trouble with the bolts, one bolt has a like a metal bracket around it and i cant figure out where it goes.

 

Depending upon which motor mount you're talking about, I may not be able to help you.

My 96' Stratus with 2.4L 4cyl is going to be out of the shop today. The front passenger motor mount and the front/rear mounts were all shot. I got the front/rear ones replaced for $150. But this damn passenger side motor mount is costing me $400... The motor mount was bad, so I bought the part. Then the bolts got stuck inside the ENGINE BRACKET--$190 for part because the dealer is the only place that has it. The gotta get the new bolts (between $1-20). Finally, after 2 + 1/2 hours of labor I spend the total of $400. This damn car is a wreck.

Take my advise. Take it to a trustworthy mechanic, have them do anything. If there's something wrong and you can afford it, fix it immediately. This car is designed so that if one thing breaks, so does everything in the same system working at similar jobs.

Beware

 

yea its the passenger side mount. the bolt is about 5 inchs long with some type of bracket on it.

 

Yep. They broke in half in my engine bracket. Once again, before you do it, just take my warning!
