Does anyone know how long it would take for the rubber to dry out or deteriorate due to storage?
I know it would largely depends on storage method and environment, but I'm just looking for a ballpark figure. I'm about to buy an uninstalled motor mount that I believe was manufactured in 2004. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

I would guess that it's just fine, as long as it wasn't sitting outside in the elements or something.
The stress of being installed combined with the elements is what ruins the rubber. Maybe you could call a dealer parts counter and ask them? -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
