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 seriously doubt you will encounter any issues related to an old but uninstalled rubber mount. These mounts get hot, cold and wet along with normal wear from movement etc. -------------------- 94 GT only mods planned are suspension and wheels
