My car has 133K on it I bought my car used so I suppose I really didn't know any different on how it drove.

On the passenger side, you can use the second lift to lift up on the side corner area with a circle.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I finally got some time to install these. In my excitement I did not take a picture of the new ones, but they can be see at Function-First.com I did take a picture of the ones that came out. I expected them to be worn out but these are as bad as I've ever seen. Most notable symptom for me was engine vibration that got much worse with the A/C on. After install I can't believe I lived so long with out good mounts. Car just drives so much better, even shifting has improved. I guess the engine was sagging pretty good as well as being a little loose back there. I must have just slowly got use to the poor dynamics of worn mounts this is a good maintenance/upgrade I wish I had done a lot sooner.
Just did the RSS mounts on mine and have the same story of improvements.
A very simple job to do.
Your old ones look about the same as mine did.
Enjoy!
Mine looked like yours. Is a big improvement. Went with RSS and the sport bushings. You might also check your trans mount. Mine was worn out. If you get a shudder when you are backing up, it's probably bad.
I have a set of OEM mounts on hand and will install them when I get a chance. I'm not aware of any symptoms but I figure they're 18 years old and I'm sure it's not just mileage that wears on them. I'm curious as to how many miles were on yours.
I recently replaced my motor mounts with OEM. Got 142K out the old ones so I figured what the heck. Definitely needed new ones and the car drives/feels better. I put this off waaaay too long...
My car has 133K on it I bought my car used so I suppose I really didn't know any different on how it drove. If you have more than say 60K miles I'd say replace them.
So question to you guys, as I see how much elongated these mounts are, would the engine sit that much higher with the new mounts. Reason I ask, my new to me 02 engine sits very low in relation to the ground. My car is lowered but still I can see a lot of the engine from the back.
Dang, those look almost as bad as mine. 130K on the original mounts caused horrible vibration, sloppy shifting, engine movement you could literally feel when shifting, and hard to engage in reverse. All gone! A very easy DIY. Make sure you have 2 lifts. First jack up under the oil pan slightly. On the passenger side, you can use the second lift to lift up on the side corner area with a circle. On the driver side, I just lifted up on the exhaust headers.
