Motor mount

Are the motor mounts on a Gslse the same on each side or is the left different from the right mount. I went to autozone to order some new ones and the guy says the left and right are the same. But i look at mazda trix web site and it shows different mounts for left and right.

There is a very slight difference, I think the drivers side is slightly smaller because of the oil cooler lines. Autozone parts are not factory parts, so they just make one that should fit both sides.

Thanks guys I guess I'ma order them from mazda trix. I also orderd a tranny mount from them too and it makes me wonder how well are the parts made if the parts are really to spec.

the mazda stuff is always correct and the aftermarket is usually cheap/wrong/useless.

the happy place is where you get factory parts in an aftermarket box, then USUALLY, not always its cheaper, but the same correct part
