question for those with ETD

So I got an ETD installed in hopes of prolonging life out of my motor mounts. However I was curious how exactly do you know if you have a broken mount while the ETD is installed? I mean do the vibrations get worse in the steering wheel? I ask because lately I've noticed I've been getting some floor vibrations on occasion when I'm low-revving like through a parking lot. Vibrations in steering wheel are the same + elsewhere, except in the floor.

fwiw I had my front + side motor mounts replaced about 14k miles ago or so. Been driving mostly like a granny lately

14k is really fast for them to wear out but, you can check the side mout for cracks and look at the front mount from top an bottom for small oil leak coming from it.
