Steel motor mount arms
Recently installed irperformance motor mounts and got rid of the aluminum driver side arm and installed another passenger side steel arm on driver side but since the aluminum are bolted back farther than the steel arm now my motor is sitting slightly angled more to the driver side. Should I have bought a steel driver side a instead of a steel passenger side arm to use on driver side so my motor would still sit straight?

the 93-94 cars had the AL arm from the factory, and the 95 and all the replacements are iron.
so if you bought 2 new mounts from Mazda, they would both be iron.
and B i'm not sure the engine sits straight anyways. the FB and FC both have the engine pointed to the left slightly to clear the steering column on an RHD car

I've got the same question. Has anyone actually compared a '95 steel driver arm against a '93/'94 steel passanger arm? The steel passanger arm seems dimensionally different from the AL arm, but i can't tell for sure w/o comparing against a '95 arm.
If folks are using '93//'94 passanger arms on the driver side with no ill effects (even if it may be different), I guess there's really no overall issue
