You should check the engine mounts first before deciding to replace them.
It is easy enough to check, put one foot firmly on the brake and give a little gas with the other foot with the engine in drive. Look at the engine and notice if one side moves more then about 1". Repeat except put the car in reverse. The other side of the engine should not move more then 1". If one of the mounts is bad you will see one side move considerably more then the other side. If this is the case then replace both mounts.
Another way to check is look at the support rails below the engine mounts, if you see dark brown residue then it is from the engine mounts leaking. Of only one mount is leaking the replace both mounts.
