Is this motor mount bad? (pics)

[Terrorizer]

This is the drivers side, I noticed the small tear in the middle, is it bad?

I don't know if this power steering thing is leaking or if there is just a leak dripping down on it but the fins were all bent up before I straitened them out

Is this the shifter linkage? The boots are torn, should I replace them?

I'm not sure if you can see it in this pic, but the rubber under the spring is dried and cracking, should I replace it?

Last but not least, my battery is bulging. Does this mean it needs to be replaced. I think part of the reason its deformed like that is it was over tightened in the batter tray. I dont know if the battery is too big for the tie down or the tie down is aftermarket because you really have to jam it in there make it fit.

Any help is apreciated!

Straightening out the fins was good. Clean it all up and check it in a week to see if that's the source of the leak.


This is your shifter linkage. It looks ok. I wouldn't worry about the boots right now..

No. That's fine. That rubber isn't even "needed".

The correct battery size is 34. It's important to have the correct size.

93rev2sev provided great feedback I just wanted to quickly say (and it's my opinion) to ditch the Fram oil filter on your next oil change.
