I've always used hyrdaulic mounts on the 4000Q, 5000S and 5000CSQ. They work
excellent with one exception. A/C compressor clutch activation will cause a
noticable engine shudder when going down the highway. I experienced this on
all the above mentioned vehicles and it's quite annoying. I recently replaced
the mounts on the 1988 5000 with rubber ones and all is well.
