Default Advice on engine mount please

I just want to make sure before i have my mount replaced if they are still good.
this one is the bottom left or driver side mount
this is a civic 1999

does this look right?


and this one is the top left on the driver side



i'm having a vibration problem when accelerating and i can feel it on my foot and it seems ok when coasting. I just called honda and they are asking 550 for 3 mounts. just want to make sure if this is the problem before having it done. thanks.

You can find used OEM mounts for cheap on eBay I bet. $550, they better sending you a bottle of lube with that.

The lower mount looks twisted. It is common for them to rip and fail. If they were ripped, you would probably feel less vibrations. That driver mount is filled with liquid/oil. If it was bad, I assume it would be leaking.

thanks for the reply, it's really a rip off. $550 not including the 4th mount by the transmission. I also called a local goodyear shop and they also charge almost the same. i ordered the part and just came today. compared to the new top left mount, i noticed that the old one is ripped and has probably no fluid left and that's probably the reason why the the bottom left mount is twisted. i have a coworker that will install it roughly $30 per mount.
