Default motor mount question

if i need a new motor mount for a 92 accord, is it crucial that i get one right away or is it something that i can wait on? and if so when do i kno i need one like right now. i looked at it and i can see that the middle part (it looks like a rubber like material) is cracked really bad... should i pay attention to the engine rattling or something when i'm driving or will i be fine with one bad motor mount?

if the rubber is cracking out it's time to replace it.
Usually people will first notice more vibration at idle when the motor mounts go bad or get weak.
The front subframe mount on your car is a known trouble maker.
When you replace it adjust it by letting the engine idle, then loosen and retighten the top bolt.
Also on the rear sub frame mount be sure the actuator lever hasn't popped loose.

yeh i noticed that it has been a lil shakey than usual. i always thought it was because my rpm's are low at idle. it stays a little bit below 1000 but most of the time it stays above that.
