I've been keeping an eye on this side. For about two months the passenger side motor mount has had a small tear in it. I was looking it over last night and noticed both sides of the mount have small tears. :( can't be good... The driver's side is fine. Front and rear are fine as well...

I've read that the mazdaspeed has a different mount. What the price on these and does anyone have a part number? Looks like I can get a jack under there and replace it... Please give me some feedback on this!
 
Hard to beleive that no one on this board hasn't had experience with the side motor mounts....
 
TheMan has. He posted a thread on protegeclub.com a while ago when he put in the MSP #3 mount on his car. Maybe if you go there and do a search for it. There was a post here talking about that too, don't remember where it is, though.
 
The passanger mount was relatively easy to remove and install. Instead of getting a new one, I filled it with a product called Windo Weld. If you do a search on "filling in motor mount" you should be able to find it. This helped a good amount with slow speed bucking when on and off the throttle lightly, but in no way solved the generally loose engine feel of this car's soft motor mounts.
