hey i was just wondering if it was necessary to change all the motor mounts if i was to get new ones. Is it only one motor mount (right side under exhaust) that wears out mostly that causes vibration?
i cant find any on ebay and mazmart has the single right mm for 130, its kinda expensive for me because im a student and barely work, only a few hours a weekend
if i replaced just the right one would that help mostly?

Yes, if money is tight and only your right side motor mount is bad just replacing just the right motor mount will be fine.

If you have not purchased the mounts I'd like to suggest buying from Finish Line.

You'd be hard pressed to find anything cheaper. I got my fuel pump there much lower compared to other web sites. They are quick to ship as well.

If money is tight you should verify what's bad and what's not before you go buying parts.
