Replace Motor Mounts or use Inserts?

The only reason I used this terminology is to head off any confusion from
someone who isnt terribly mechanically inclined.

When I installed my motor mount inserts I had to sift through several posts
from people who just said front or rear without clarifying if they meant
technically front of engine or front of the car. And it was used for both by
different people.

I just explained it this way for people who buy the inserts and go , "huh?"

As for replacing broken mounts, my car didnt rattle like you explained yours
did,  but it groaned when I decelerated. So I guess it depends how badly
they're broken to begin with.

Honestly, I dont see how mine could feel better noe, without any added
vibration to the car. Remember, I drive my car every day, and occasionally,
I transport women that Id like to continue dating :)
