I just noticed over the weekend that the upper engine mount bushing (pass. side, towards firewall, horizontal) has small tears starting from the inside hole and working outwards. They have not fully met the opposite side of the bushing yet.
Does this mean I need new bushings? If so, should I replace all engine mount bushings? How many are there? Should I use stock Saab ones, or go aftermarket? Difficult job (I'm used to doing my own car repairs...)?
My car is a '98 9K auto with 50K miles. Is this abnormal for the bushings to be going so soon?
