Hello,
An auto shop told me the rubber part on the drivers side engine mount is worn. Is it absolutely necessary to replace this? What will happen if left with worn rubber, other than vibration noise, which isn't too bad as I haven't noticed it much.

Thanks!

If you don't replace it you could put your foot on the gas and it can break other motor mounts.

So if I'm not noticing much vibration now, would it not be ok until I noticed vibration - to replace it?
