Front body shell support ...usually only needed for holding the motor together Laughing

I don't have a problem buying 100$ in parts to replace them, but are they mission critical and need to take it out of service until replaced?

Found some info here ...looks as though they are not immediately critical but they must perform some function.

DG, Excellent find. "Part #'s KVU500071 and KVU500161? I looked @ a car in the shop and can't figure what those do, except maybe protect the front body mounts in a collision?"

I bought them online from my goto dealer in fort meyers, FL for parts.

My suspicion is it was towed in a similar fashion!!!

Thanks again.
