You guys think a mount with 90,000 miles on it is shot/needs to be replaced?
I don't see any leaks on these mounts.

Hey Bricktop, original mounts usually are worthless after 10 years or 100k.
The front and side ones go first. Check out the previous threads on inspecting the mounts and vacuum.

If they didn't come with the rubber dampers you can reuse the old ones. They reduce vibration at idle so don't forget to install them.

Back breaking work, but i did it.
New front mount


Old mounts


Rear mount


That rear mount bracket is a real pain in the ass. Especially those 2 14mm bolts. An air ratchet would've come in handy down there.
I tried to raise the engine to clear the engine mount stud, but that wasn't happening.
I thought the front mount would be a bit easier, but noooo. That upper left bolt was a force to reckon with. I couldn't stop cursing at it.
And i cross thread the bracket bolt to the engine, my father's tap and die set saved the day. My mistake was to loosen the bracket bolts before the mount bolts. My ratchet combo wrench got wedged against bolt head and the body of the mount.
I like to thank every one on this thread info and pics.
