I have a 1998 Contour with a 2.5 Liter 6 and automatic. The engine cradle was dented near the left front when the car hit a center divider. While the car is drivable. It threw the alignment out and pushed the cradle up a little, enough so that the transmission case is just touching the cradle and the engine vibration can now be heard in the car due to the lack of isolation through the motor mount.
There are alos some nuts near the dent in the cradle area and the rear bushing where the cradle mounts to the suframe appears to be out of alignment a little or distorted.
My question is:
Where can I obtain a engine cradle at a reasonable cost in the US? Also, how diffucult is it to replace?
