It's not the engine mount, it's torque mounts. One is up at the top, called dog bone. The other one, torque mount, is hidden behind the passenger side wheel, maybe 2 feet into the engine bay. That one I never understood why it looks so flimsy and what exactly it is supposed to do.
Anyhow. I replaced all of them, all five, on my 3.5L V6, at 94 000 miles. They all were in various stages of deterioration. It's about 2 hr job and about $400 plus in parts. Dog bone I bought aftermarket, it slid and fit in just fine.
Sorry, carried away. yes, you should not have that much motor sway.
