PA Broken diff mount

Well you guys know the story. I was schocked mine lasted so long. Its on a 88 TII with a 120,000. My question is go oem or something aftermarket? I know they are a pain to change I just want to do it once and not again anytime soon. Basically if someone has used a aftermarket one I would love to see if it worked well for you. After this I have to get it ready for my state inspection here in PA. Thanks
Rich

I have never seen an "aftermarket" front diff mount (which is the one I am assuming is broken). Just the stock one and stiffer Mazdaspeed racing one.

I use a stock unit and a pinion snubber on the track car.

All aftermarket diff mounts will break because the design is ****. Use a stock mount with a pinion snubber.
