As mentioned elsewhere this morning. There are generally about 4 motor mounts some where on the car including the one or ones bolted on to the transmission. The trickiest one to find would be the one located on what would be the front of the motor as I think of it, the opposite end of where the transmission lives, and that is the only one I have seen broken that actually caused a noise usually because that end of the motor is really close to the fenderwell.
But that has just been my experiance. I personally have never broken a motor mount but have changed more than I want to for others. Including my neighbor whose son broke every motor mount in the car. And as I remember it was a Mitsubishi and it had 5 of them. I take that back, I had a Lincoln that broke every motor mount in the damned thing fortunaly still under warrenty. That was the LAST Lincoln I ever owned. I usually do not trade or off a car until I am tired of it and that can be as high as 300,000 miles. I just have not found motor mounts to be a big cause of problems UNLESS they were physically broken. And for the most part that takes some form of abuse to break them. Except for that Lincoln. Boy I hated that car! That car broke things I did not know you could break.

I personally am on my second Saturn. Loved my 91 SL1 with a five speed but had to give it up after one of the can brackets broke and I couldn't afford to fix it. Issues with disability income and surgery losing my job. I originally picked it up for $300 from a Ford dealer in Mount Vernon, OH because the person that traded it in had hit a deer with it. The only complaint I had was on a windy day in West Michigan in the winter you occasionally find yourself changing lanes because of the wind on ice.
Bought a Vue because of the room in the back for my gear, I officiate NCAA softball, MHSAA hockey, football and baseball, and I love the sporty feel in the cockpit of the vehicle. Great vehicle for a small family.
