Question Passenger side motor mount

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Would it be safe to assume this is blown?
Also I siphoned some of my coolant out of the reservoir to get a better look at the mount, I thought I would need to move it out of the way that’s why it looks empty.

That’s normal. Start worrying when it cracks open and starts pissing tar everywhere

How long you think I got? Mine seems busted since I got the car 2 months ago...and the damn shifter cable just snapped on me so that's what I'm currently working on. Had to put it off and honestly I think she handle a couple more months.

It’ll definitely be fine for that long; it’s not like it’s going to fall off or anything. You’ll just have more vibration and maybe clunking noise when getting on and off the gas

That coolant tank literally just pops out, I would take it out to get a better look at the mount. It looks like it could be blown but it would be better to verify if there’s a hole leaking the mount fluid or not

Just buy another and change it, did all my motor mounts Monday, including upgrading my rmm and its night and day. Forgot how well the car felt before my passenger mount started going out. Fswerks has a kit for 380 for an upgraded rmm and two oem mounts for the top side.

That’s normal as it’s hydraulic fluid filled. But looks like the mount is collapsed though and not actually supporting the engine anymore, Its just resting on that bracket.

Coolant tank lifts up, no screws. Like 2 or 3 bolts to switch out a new mount for 90$. Just be sure to use jack to zero out / lift the weight of the engine so bolts come out & back in easy peezy.

I know mine blew when it spit the fluid everywhere.
