Is your car doing something that makes you think the motor mounts are bad?

On the Corolla the mounts are something that I would think that would last nearly the life of the car... unlike the ones in my 2003 Honda Odyssey. Those are pretty special, expensive and lasted only 80K miles.

Thanks george, I would like to think it was something easy and not $$$. However I do have an engine vibration that can be felt driving and in park. I had new tires put on Saturday and while on the lift I asked the guys to check the M.M and they said the front Right and the driver rear rubber cracked. They said $429.00 to RxR out the door.Back when the car had 39k Toyota replaced the front right under warranty. BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I went round and round with Toyota with no satisfaction. So since 39k to 63k I had the same old VIBRATION, nothing changed.Now I am told that 2 are subject. My old TAURUS went over 200K before I replaced 1 bad M.M.What do you think now that I explained it? Toyota said that these engines vibrate and mine is above AVERAGE. Please comment any one...

Rock Auto has them 50-90 for a front and rear. I'd inspect them myself before replacing them. They're pretty sturdy and I haven't heard of them going bad very often. It's a thick chunk of rubber seated in a sturdy steel housing and should last the life of the car.

Cracks in the rubber are usually just surface cracks from weathering and don't neccesarily mean they are bad.

That makes sense, but tell me what then causes this idle vabration that carrys over at high speed, and at 39k Toyota changed the front one and when I re-took delivery on the car I had the same old vibration and it has not gotten better or worst now that the car has 63k? Could it just be some sort of a flaw that goes with ownership on this car? TOYOTA says all is normal but in my case it(vibration) is above normal. Thanks
