Owner said rear diff mount and motor mounts were not replaced. How do I check diff mount? (I know i can google this, but i prefer RS advice)

OEM motor mounts are crap in these cars. Have to go aftermarket, the guy selling the white MS3 in the forum put in SURE mounts, those go for $135 USD. Diff mount is gonna be the expensive one, esp if transfer case cracks or diff is broken
