I just checked my records (you mean you don't keep a repair journal?), and find I replaced the motor mounts in December of 2001 at about 97,000 miles. The two lower mounts were replaced with original equipment SAAB parts. The upper (I think it's referred to as the "dogbone" mount), was replaced by an Abbot Racing poly mount. So that was over ten years and over 100,000 miles ago. I love, love, love my car's handling. She has been across the country twice and to Alaska once and I have never, ever been unhappy with my choice of motor mounts. The shifting is nice and firm with none of the sloppiness I remember. If there is any increase in vibration I don't notice it. As I mentioned in another thread, I did this by myself lying on the floor in my son in law's garage. I was sore for a week, but quite proud of myself.
