I actually bought another OEM lower engine mount since there's excessive movement now, likely due to the crappy Powerflex lower mount bushing.

Inspecting shouldn't be hard if you can get under the car.
Thanks for the heads up, was considering powerflex for the lower mount, will keep the lowermount in place.

Still have to replace the upper mount some time, it is not cracked or leaking but it is loose. The shimmies I were having were due to bushings in the control arms / wishbones. Put in Meyle HD and way more direct ride.
