Time for a survey? How many motor mounts have y'all gone through and under what general conditions/locations and on which vans? (Go out and check the ones yer runnin' now to see if they're bad before you answer.) Have you pro mechanics observed the same tendency as my local guy has, or no?

Not that common up here but I do always have a set in stock though so they are an item that I warrant keeping here which means they do get used up on a regular basis. Just put a set in with the newly rebuilt engine that went into my '90 CARAT. The originals were starting to separate after 200,000 miles and 15 years.
