Motor mount question

[gsr_nikhil]

Ive had polyurethane motor mount inserts in my car since Jan 2013. The only mounts I put the inserts in were the rear torque and upper driver's side. They didn't look like they were failing back in Jan. But now I want to take them out because I'm so annoyed with the constant vibration and I fear my dash is going to break lol. So my question is...can I just take them out and continue using these mounts? Or do I need to purchase new ones because the inserts destroyed them? The reason I ask is because I do not have easy access to tools where I can just look for myself. Thanks for your input

So you were originally using motor mount inserts on the factory motor mounts correct ? If the factory mounts have gone out I'd say replace them. If not usually blown mounts will still cause some sort of vibration.

I had the softest Innovative mounts and the car shakes so bad. I changed the rear mount to an OEM style and it drastically cut down on the vibrations.

Why would inserts destroy the factory mounts? It just fills up the gaps in the mounts. Remove them and it will be fine.

I have filled lower torque mounts, and hasport engine/trans mounts. I don't want a massive amount of vibrations, so I left the rear mount as is for now

I figured since they fill in those gaps that over time they would stretch....then again its only been like 8 months with em in. I just wanted some opinions before checking them out
