What was wrong with your mounts? The impression I get from reading past posts is that they corrode. If so, that probably isn't the issue in my case as this car is from the south and had no corrosion as of yet.
But do you have a definitive test to see if it is the mounts?
I did notice something new tonight. It could be my imagination but if seemed like the rattling was much quieter when the car was accelerating and was loudest when the car was coasting.
