Changed 2 engine mounts last summer and now need to do the others... Replace all 4?

Hey All -

Had a buddy replace two engine mounts last summer at the beginning of the season. Now I need to replace the other two. I fully understand that all 4 should have been replaced at once and I do not know why we didnt do all 4 then.

Should I just get 4 new ones and replace all 4 or can I just replace the two we did not replace last year?

Thank you!

Years ago I saw a Blondie comic strip where a salesman was trying to sell half a new roof to Dagwood. Dagwood asked how long it would take for the new shingles to weather-in to match the old shingles, and the salesman said, "About as long until the other half of your roof needs to be re-shingled."

Since you are asking strangers for answers to your question, and not providing any relevant info, IMO it doesn't matter if all four mounts are the same age or a year apart. Well, it would matter if you are using really crap mounts, so keep that in mind.

I gotta be honest. It is rediculous when people come to this forum and ask questions about engines and give no information at all about the engine. Think about this.
