Engine mount droop measurement?

[JTT]

Does anyone have a measurement for how much droop is too much?  Measured from the chassis to the carrier, not exhaust tips?

I do not know that there is a measurement - we usually look for cracks or tears. Usually pretty obvious.

Thanks Loren.  I read a lot about exhaust tips drooping low on one side or other, and cabin vibration as indicators as well as leaks and tears.  I just figured there was something more "measurable".  

 

I have no visible leaks, tears or obvious deterioration (as you can see in pic).  Both exhaust tips are equal height, but I seem to have a little vibration at idle I can feel through the wheel, that I don't remember feeling when I first got the car two seasons ago.

Just as a follow up to this post, here are a couple of pics.

 

First is new mount installed.  You can see compared to the pic in earlier post there is a considerable difference in the clearance from the chassis to the carrier.

 

 

The second shows the old and new sitting side by side on the bench.  Hope this helps others.

Excellent pics and great information. I just changed mine.
