For those with sagging motor mounts......

[pablon2]

I picked up a Motorcraft 400S filter the other day and noticed it is about an inch shorter than it used to be. For those whose mounts are sagging and aren't planning on replacing them anytime soon, this shorter style will make it easier to remove the filter without the crossmember getting in the way. Can't say if the new style filters as well as the old though.

That's what I was thinking too! Of course, all of my cars are set with new-ish motor mounts now though.

The bigger problem is that your oil pan will have a hole worn through it from rubbing on the K-member.

Yes indeed....and/or crushing your PS lines.

Shorter filter is definitely not a fix for bad motor mounts.
