FSM procedure 22-211 for the 617 says that you should use different motor mounts for each side. However, I have never done this, and have never seen any third party motor mounts listed as specific for either side. If you bought mercedes parts you might be able to get them, but the fact that none of the third parties offer them implies to me that it might not be that important, but I could be wrong.
*EDIT* some third parties do make side specific motor mounts, as stated later in thread *EDIT*
While we're on the topic, my 126.120 is missing the motor mount heat shield that the FSM says I should have... does anyone know what the consequences of this are? Will the rubber just heat up and allow the engine to shake a bit more when hot?
