There are a couple of engine mounts on the car. Depending on which one failed, the job gets a bit more difficult.

- The upper mounts aren't terrible to replace, but if the engine is sagging, you'll have to somehow lift it so you can swap parts.
- The lower mounts are much worse because of the location. These often fail due to leaked oil.
- The shock absorbing mount is the worst. It bears the weight of the J30.

did this just happen or did it progressively get worse?
