Default Death Wobble vs Motor Mounts?

I've been wondering if there was a correlation between motor mount life vs cherokees with DW. So I guess my question is a two part. How long do ur factort mounts last and also weather or not u have DW.

It makes sense to me that vibes side to sode from DW would aid to destroying the mounts.

Replaced my mounts after about 1k highway with serious death wobble, along with 2k if hard off-road.

Because people will stop/slow when it occurs, it only happens a little. So, i don't think it would, and if so it would be very minute.

What wears out motor mounts fast is hard driving.You should fix the death wobble and never worry about any problems from having it.

haha. No need to fix death wobble. Mine is off road 95% of its life so the money to put under the front end would be a waste since I would abuse it off road.
