let me know -- I think I remember where it was --
BTW, A ruler will help to determine if it has collapsed ...

Subject: Re: [MBZ] New motor mounts bad?
They are the same or very similar to the mounts on your 124. I am
going to have to crawl up under there and look at them I suppose.
I did discover I did not replace the tranny mount when I replaced
the motor mounts so maybe that is it.

Many have talked about the effects on Rubber and Age - but if your MMs are
the same as on my 91 300D they are not the typical rubber mount but more
of a hydraulic damper with a fluid container inside the metal shell that
the engine rides on.
Any signs of leakage?

Subject: [MBZ] New motor mounts bad?
When I did all the engine work to my 92 300SD I replaced the motor
mounts. They never did seem exactly smooth but every time I drive
the thing its worse and worse. Today I drove it after finding
both sets of keys that have been lost for a couple of months (one
was in the drawer where they were supposed to be, the other was
actually laying in the back seat of the car) and the thing just
vibrates like crazy at idle like the mounts are completely
colapsed. WTF? I have about 350 miles on these mounts, anybody
ever seen bad mounts straight out of the box? Should I make Rusty
send me new ones?
