TT motor mount Qs

[kervinridgley@earthlink.net (Kervin)]

I'm saying that 2 years for the passenger side mount is a really short
time for it to go bad.  There might be something else going on.  Is it
currently torn?  vibrations sometimes come from the engine alignment,
which is fixed by adjusting all of the mounts.

There is a little more vibration now, and it is probably only gonna get worse. These mounts were replaced right before I had the exhaust installed, like 2years ago, thats approx 30-35,000 miles ago. I don't wanna have any undue pressure on the TT downpipe.
