almost certainly. engine mounts are one of the first things i do when
getting a "new" old honda i intend to keep. they're always broken.
rubber fatigues. provided your car has not sustained any front end
damage, replacement should be easy enough. the rear one, if there's any
frame distortion, can be tough because one of the rear bolt heads can be
obscured. got to drop the whole subframe to get at it. :( still, it's
worth the effort - car drives like new when you're done.
