Default Leaking diff mounts

Hi.

Rear diff mounts are leaking.

would ideally like spoon as my engine and trans mounts are spoon however I can't warrant the cost.

I know innovative do a cheapish set of mounts but I had bad experience with their engine mounts so would like an alternative if available.

Now I've been thinking, could I use some rigid collars on the diff mounts and use it like this or can rigid collars only be used with good mounts?

Both the rear mounts are leaking, yes.

I replaced them with second hand OEM two years ago as the previous factory OEM ones failed.

Thinking about upgrading to solid mounts instead of these fluid filled ones.

You can try hardrace or Megan, they are hardened rubber like the Spoon mounts.

You can fill them with liquid urethane if you are up for it. Some have been successful with that.

I've seen the diy. Could be worth a shot.

I think that the collars will hold them rigid even if broken cause the they kind of sit in the lip of the mount and when tightened down that's it its snug..
