Right motor mount. Not entirely pleased with this one and imo, its got a bit too much cantilever beam action going on, that may wear out the rubber mount prematurely. But its beastly rigid and for now, it'll hold the engine in the right spot.

Before removing the Pentastar from the 2015 Grand Cherokee 2WD, I measured the centreline heights above the floor of the crankshaft at front and the ZF auto 8-speed output shaft. The crank front end is 6.33" or 161mm above the output shaft.

Is this normal ? It puts the engine on a pretty hefty downward rake from front to back.
