I've been watching them and haven't seen where it looks like they could get cut. The driver side mount appears halfway collapsed, whereas the passenger side mount is totally flat and the mounting arm is resting on metal.
Apparently Lemfoerder or Phoenix are not options for the passenger side mount, so rather than mess with trying Febi, Meyle, Corteco, etc. I'm just going to buy genuine MB mounts and not worry about it.
I was hoping to replace the engine shocks and bushing kits at the same time, but since it's not in my budget (the bushing kits cost several times what the shocks cost), I have a spare set from a car I parted out and am going to use the best set out of the two. I think I should have enough good bushings. If I don't have two good shocks, then I'll probably spend the $25 each to buy the OEM Stabilus ones PeachParts sells.
