CraigW just remember the below statement is accurate until you have forward
pull when applying power.
When forward power is applied then you are now exerting ( levered pull on the
lower mounts. and the longer they are.. The more ft/lbs of stress you exert on
them.
Ex. 10? ratchet with socket.. then add a breaker bar to it? Much more force
with the same pressure.
