My 2006 Wrangler TJ RHD has started to idle rough and knock on the right side when an accelerate sometimes. I am thinking the motor mount might be broken on the right side. Here is a pick of the mount. Does it look broken? I am not positive. Thanks in advanced. Pic of Motor Mount
 
I cant tell from pic, jack up the engine and see what happens.
 
It’s really hard to tell from that image, one a little further back with less direct light on the camera lens would help. However it does look like the rubber bushing and housing are pretty separated, so it is certainly possible the motor mount is broken.
 
Looks like any of the oem mounts that I have seen, the steel was never bonded to the rubber.

^ He seems more confident than me, I haven't seen the OEM ones in a while. It seems more than I'd expect but maybe I just expect wrong.

Under acceleration, the passenger side mount is pushed down while the driver side goes up. The rubber in this mount has probably degraded.

New Mopar mounts are around $50 each.
