Problem is, its not the one its leaning on that fails.
People dont realize, fuel leak = left engine mount replacement in about 1 month.
On my old 617, I never replaced a right hand mount in 800k miles, replaced 3 left ones.
I have replaced the left one on my 124, destroyed by PO with fuel leak. Right one is still within spec for support.
Normally mounts are cheaper in pairs. Maybe some one got 3 at once.
