Visually, the engine and transmission mounts appeared to be collapsed. After replacement, there is a noticeable improvement in the NVH characteristics. However, before replacement, the vibration at idle and during acceleration would be acceptable to the average person.
Attached pictures show the difference between the new mount and the old one. The old mounts were not leaking. In your opinion, do sagging/collapsed engine mounts warrant replacement, or should engine mounts only be replaced when they are broken or leaking?
