If the car has over 100K miles, it wouldn't be unusual for the engine and transmission mounts (left, right and rear) and the torque arm to be worn. You can easily see the torque arm between the subframe and the transmission at the bottom of the radiator on the driver side. If the rubber block is mashed, it's time for a new one. I've noticed that the engine tends to sag on the mounts when they become worn. You might have to jack the engine up an inch or two to get the new mounts installed. the sagging engine tends to worsen the distortion of the rubber block in the torque arm and will wear out a new torque arm fairly quickly. As was mentioned, they all work together so the job is harder on the rest when one or two aren't holding their own. The engine and transmission mounts and torque arm are an easy job except for the rear mount which is difficult to access because of being up against the fire wall.
