As of late, I have been developing the pessimistic view that it's best to
replace now, because when the parts do fail, there may not be any left! At
$35 each, they are already the most expensive piece of rubber around second
to Solex isolators that is.

Victor's motor mount test:

lean over the car. Grab the valve cover. Pull. Repeat on the other side.
