Just to add to others who have responded, make sure you check both top
and bottom of the mount. There is a long stud that goes thru the top of
the diff mount crossmember and then thru a plate welded to the underside
of the diff mount crossmember. Check both of these surfaces. In my
case the lower plate was cracked.
