Default saff engine-rubber left/right?

Hi all.

After my new engine's been mounted about 6 weeks ago, I found out that the engine-rubbers for left and right side were the same.

I'm now looking for one different one, so I have a different one on the left compared to the one on the right. I think it's needed because the engine's is to "movable" at the moment.

Can someone describe the difference between the two I need, if possible with a pic?
Any help is really appreciated.

2wd or 4x4?????

Think 4x4 are the same both sides

2wd are slightly different left to right,but only difference is a small locating peg that sits in the alloy arm that bolts to engine
Which won't make any difference to how much movement you have in engine

What mounts have you fitted,standard?????

It'a 2wd.
I have standard mounts and standard rubbers.

I've found out that possibly one of the two should be mounted upside down and therefor has different length screwing-wire (or how it's called in english)..

Never heard of that m8

Mine were both the same way around,metal bit sitting on cross member,rubber cone shape onto alloy engine mount

Put new ones on mine,but there is quite a lot of movement with the standard mounts,Vibratechnic mounts are supposed to be good if you want less engine movement

Sounds clear.. I had standard ones, before my new engine was build 6 weeks ago. The old ones made me think the engine was a lot less movable..

I'm gonna take a look at the old ones, to see what's different compared to the new ones

I have this on my 3dr, it looks like the near side mount is upside down one mount is flat on the top surface and the other is conical, I guess it's nothing to worry about

Sounds good that one of yours is also upside down.
I think that one dissolves the other

When they're both mounted the same way there's much more movability i'd say
