4.0 Engine mount problem.

[josh]

Im looking at purchasing a cherokee with the engine mount bosses broken off of the block.
I have a few questions pertaining to this.
1. How common is it for the right side motor mount to break?
2. Is there a heavier aftermarket mount that possibly attaches to some other points of the block available?
3. Has anyone ever solved this problem without replacing the engine?

I've heard of it, one of the 4wd mags mentioned it lately and said it was reported to them by a large aftermarket retailer, maybe Rosser Jeep. Don't know of any fix other than to have the block professionally welded.
