Are bad motor mounts common on the Focus?!? I have a weird vibration, louder under load and i am assuming a motor mount has gone bad, but i haven't had a chance to check yet. Has anyone else had motor vibration problems?

Still stock mounts ???

Must change. From what i read, focciss do have motor mounts problem and especially with your mileage, I think it's the time.

Crappy Tire quoted me about 100$ for all three, but again that's aftermarket. Question, is the quality there ???
