I've never seen that one so I can't >comment. Motor mounts are a very common problem / maintenance item in "old" 9000's, particularly the pre-balance shafted engines. Not as common in an S than a turbo due to less torque, but still far from unheard of. With 140,000 miles, I'd imagine the motor mounts are on their last "legs" unless the PO was very gentle. -Doug
