Rubber surrounding motor mount?

[DiabloOwnr]

I just bought my 95 last week (I am new to dsm's), and the seller said I needed to replace the passenger side motor mount because the 2 rubber circular pieces (see pic) that are on each side of the motor mount are loose (I can move them by hand). I tried searching, but I have no idea if this is normal? I can't see the motor mount itself to see if it is bad.

The two rubber disks on the side are separate from the mount and can move around on their own normally. To check if you really need a motor mount you can unbolt it and hoist/jack up the engine to actually look at the mount itself or you can feel for solid clunks when you are shifting or accelerating.

Yes, those rubber things are not part of the mount. When I filled my mounts I did add some more rubber to help anything from moving. But to see if the mount is actually bad you need to remove it and inspect it to see if it is torn.
