I have a 2003 Dodge Stratus and recently about a month ago, changed the timing belt, components, and water pump. It broke again after a month, and mechanic said it was the motor mount brackets.

Asked by jerry4297 Feb 16, 2017 at 05:41 PM about the 2003 Dodge Stratus SXT Coupe FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Can this be true. Can the motor mount brackets have anything to do with the
