Go with stock engine mounts if you have to replace.

How do you know if the driver's side engine mount is bad? I removed it the other day to get at the timing belt cover. Visually it looks fine.
I'm just about to order parts and want to finalize the list. So far I have:
head gasket
valve cover gasket
spark plugs
control arm bushings
timing belt kit with water pump
accessory belts
engine mounts (still have to check these)
Anything else worth looking at right now?
