Default Motor Mount "Partial" failure or okay??

I was pretty sure my mounts had failed - but now that I have one out - I'm not so sure. Some pics of a "new" mount show nearly no gap - but I have a bit - yet when compared to a new 993 mount that I was about to put in - there doesn't seems to be much dif in the overall mounting height once you'd have it installed.

Thoughts?

A quick reply would be great - car is in pieces and I'd like to put it together again now! ; )

Thanks,

It's hard to tell without a load on it. Shake it and see if you can hear fluid swishing around. If so, likely a goner. When I swapped mine out, one of them was very noisey when shaken, the other not really, but they were both used up. The Wevo's are fantastic btw.

Partial failure is failure. It's a Pcar after all. Just my .02

Agreed - and I'd already got them - so in they went. No discernable difference, although changing into reverse might be a tad easier? Hard shifting to reverse (near impossible at times!) has been an oddly inconsistent problem - so I'll spend some time on the new mounts to see if that's the fix.

Otherwise - perfect fit, not a hard job and at least I know this item's ticked off the list.

Where did you buy your new engine mount from?
