Mark the pieces and orientation before replacement, it can be installed wrong.
This ^ is spot on. We broke a '08 Boxster with 35k on the clock and the mount was broken, why Porsche could not make a decent modification after all this time is beyond me!

Look around 3:03 in that video and you will see he IS REALLY A BAREFOOT MECHANIC!
