I just replaced mine on my 94 SL2. All I can ask is "why did I wait
so long?" I replaced it yesterday and when I started it this morning
I was amazed at how smooth it was. I guess I had grown accustomed to
the vibration. Of course, I was in the parts store picking up some
oil so I got stuck with a cheap aftermarket one. If the original
lasted 10+ years I hope this will last at least a year or two.

Do you know what the upper motor mount looks like? Usually if you can
stick your index finger inbetween the bracket and the rubber its time
for a new one. Thats a real quick way to check them while they're being
serviced.

I cant find a pic of one but its on the front of the engine (passenger
side of car) right on top. Its sorta shaped like a upside down "U"
infront of the valve cover.
