you are doing the labor yourself and don't have to pay for it, it might

Larry,
If they're old, replacement is probably a good idea if you don't mind
the $100+ cost for a pair. The official test is to measure the
distance from the bottom side of the mount to the frame rail. Less
than 13mm, the mount has collapsed and needs replacement. More than
13mm, it's probably OK

Forgot - the hydraulic lift is only usable on a hard surface - won't

you'll be working. The engine stand will be similar, but could have
