They are possible the same, going by the link below -
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/132994857202?_trkparms=aid=1110006&algo=HOMESPLICE.SIM&ao=1&asc=20201210111314&meid=a29d1dea95fa4ec09b0b594bede484a3&pid=101195&rk=4&rkt=12&mehot=pf&sd=154451944931&itm=132994857202&pmt=1&noa=0&pg=2544595&algv=SimplAMLv9PairwiseUnbiasedWeb&_trksid=p2544595.c101195.m1851

If your after OEM Part- GM Part # 92276714

But best to do a cross reference first.
I did check SparesBox, as their information is pretty accurate,
If and when I use the ones I have on the shelf, Not that I will be replacing them to son I hope,
I recon I going to give SuperPro a go.
Probably should of bought them first anyway,
Oh well, will see what happens.
Great, appreciate the info and link mate.

Just an update guys. Had both engine mounts replaced yesterday (went with the Mackay mounts), and it was like I was driving a different car when I got it back, so smooth, a massive difference.

My engine mounts were replaced under warranty at 38,000km. Are they known to fail this early?

Yes, it all depends how you drive

Yes
All depends on your driving, If its a bit hard through the gears, it can cause premature failure, as I mentioned in comment #18
but its the high torque they produce in lower gears that can make them fail.

No
The Cars are driven sedately, they will last the life of the car.

With the SS’s and especially the LE’s, which are track certified, one would expect longevity from the engine mounts even if the vehicle is hammered daily...

So how can a vehicle be classed as “performance“ if it’s so fragile as to break its mounts... Seriously, this is either misrepresentation or not durable under ACL. Its also unsafe for an engine to be bouncing on failed mounts in a performance vehicle :eek: It should be fixed by installing reliable mounts that can take the expected punishment and it should be fixed for all via a recall ;)

The mechanic reports I've busted the left engine mount. Apparently leaking fluid.

I'm keen hear if anyone has used the Superpro mounts and what you think re increased NVH. I suspect the extra low down torque may be giving the stock ones grief.

In comparison to oem, slight increase in harshness, no difference in noise or vibration.
