1987 300SDL engine mounts OM603
These where changed today and where too perfect of a DIY picture to resist. Can you tell which is Good, Medium or Bad? :EDIT: Went through and reset color and light level.

I can only make out the mount in center pic. Let me guess that one came off the left side?

Yikes
![]() Out of interest, how bad was the vibration in the car with the old mounts? New mounts are on my "to do" list as I have no idea if or when mine were changed. Vibration isn't terrible but is noticable particularly at idle.

Yep that sounds about right, the passengers side mount gets the most abuse. I think the engine is tilted to the left a few degrees.
I ment the passengers side mount in my first post; left looking at the engine.
