Default Dogbone engine Torque mount 96 eldo

My engine rocks when I accelerate and I noticed the dog bone mount at the top of the engine is shot, no rubber on it at all. Would replacing this dog bone mount solve the problem or do the engine mounts at the bottom need to be replaced also?

If you wait much longer then they will break as well.

Can't tell without seeing the car, but if the rubber bushing is gone in the top dogbone, change it. You are risking breaking all the mounts as carnut says not to mention your transaxle too. It is an easy repair so don't wait anymore.

Default Dog bone bushings

Does anyone know where to get the new rubber bushings for the dogbone moints? Do I have to replace the whole dogbone or can I just put in new rubber bushings. I can't seem to find the name for them anywhere so finding them is becoming difficult. Thanks in advance.
