4.0 Engine mount problem.

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?

Re: 4.0 Engine mount problem.

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.
