These are Anchor brand from RockAuto. Are the Mopar ones really worth
it? I don't have any extra $ or time :-/ Where did you buy... from a

Do you remember how the NAPA ones didn't fit? With the exception of
the isolator/sleeve width, the new ones I have are identical to the
old. The bolt holes and other dimensions look perfect.
Thanks!
