I was leaking the hydraulic fluid out of it. I noticed it when investigating a popping noise in the right front.

Got pics of how your dogbones are aligned? Noticed any difference? My Napa mount was a hair shorter than the stocker apparently because my passenger side is a little lower than the other side making my dog bones slightly crooked. I spaced out the motor mount a little, it still ain't right though IMO.

I've been thinking about just paying the $$$ and getting OEM GM lower motor mounts (I should of done this in the first place!).

to add another tip for getting the studs seated in the holes top and bottom-- when i changed mine, i ended up starting the nuts on the top threads, in an unequal rate, so as to change the position of the bottom two studs. (needed to angle them a bit to get them to line up)

Mine came out straight, they slid right in when I was finished. I can get a pic if needed. Did you replace the trans mount too? I haven't done it yet on mine yet. I haven't even looked at it, but if it is bad too and a new one raises that side, I can see where I might get what you're talking about.
