Default Need info about motor mount bushing kit

My upper motor mount 5085122ab rubber shows cracks. Should I bother trying to replace just the bushing to save money? How hard is it to remove the and install the bushing ? Where can I find a kit that will last?
ps I already replaced the middle motor mount.

If you're asking about replacing just the rubber part, you can't. It's a whole unit.

I saw one bushing kit for sale online. Also a you tube video taking about replacing them.

Which way do most people go with inserts or a new upper motor mount? Whats the difference in price? Do you have to cut out the rubber bushing to install theses?

If the mount is broken, it needs to be replaced before the inserts are used. You might have to trim rubber flashing in the mounts to fit the inserts in, but they are simply that: inserts. They are not replacements for the mount and are not meant to "fix" a broken mount.
