under the hood next to the engine and the strut tower there is a silver mounting piece...what is that called and is there any aftermarket companies that sell them..?

that's your upper torque strut , you can buy inserts or you can fill yours...

a few. 3 come to mind. why you interested in them? do you have a built/powerful motor? or are your stock ones ripped?

if your stock ones are ripped and the motor's not turbo'd, n2o'd, or a built NA, inserts will fix the problem (unless somehow all 4 pieces of rubber are torn) for about $30 shipped. if it's a built motor, AGP, Boomba, and Bwoody make solid aluminum ones. The solids are a waste of money if you're stock or only mildly modded, unless you're building a show car.

Edit: checked your garage. unless you plan on doin a ton of work, solids will only look good and the vibration will probably end up annoying you. but you won't have wheel hop lol.

I was gonna say that the solids will do a whole hell of a lot more than just look good, but then I read your last post. Even a stock neon will have lots of wheel hop and solids are the best route. IF you are wanting to replace with aftermarket for performance, solid is way to go, and if money is an issue, and you want to keep the fillings in your teeth, than inserts will be best (try http://www.modernperformance.com), and do a great job of doing so, but go with the race.. yeah, vibrates, but worth it.

NOW, if you are doing it because you need to replace a broken one, I can get you one for about $40 used.
