Do newer motor mounts wear out too?

My 90 S2 Cab is feeling a bit shaky. I understand after 86 or 87 the cars got solid rubber mounts instead of fluid filled ones, so I'm doubting the mounts are bad. I get a little bit of a vibration at idle, which goes away with some gas. I also get a little more of a shake at 2200rpms in neutral. I've had an older 944 that had bad mounts. I remember it was more shaky than this car. What are the chances my 90S2 with 70K on the odometer could use some new mounts? I don't drive the car very often so it could be a bit out of tune, but the car feels fine when I'm driving it.

I think all motor mounts wear out, cept maybe solid ones. My 90 S2 Cab was feeling shaky also, had one motor mount replaced and it feels smooth now. The broken mount damaged the exhaust system a bit but the muffler shop I use fixed it all up nice.
