[s-cars] Motor mounts revisited - another question

[Chad Clark]

Chris, it's very common for the passenger side motor mount to fail after 
100k mi due to the extreme heat from the turbo. Mine was toast at 77k mi. I 
can't tell you how many failed passenger side motor mounts I've seen on 
S-cars. With 228k, and as far as you know it's never been replaced, I'd say 
with certainty that it's probably a pile of brittle rubber bits. On the 
other hand, the driver side mount seems to be rather robust, probably due to 
the lack of heat cycling.
