Is the SU replacement mount for the rear motor mount and is that considered mount number 1,2 , 3 or 4?

Engine mount prices

Hello,
The engine mount on the right side went bad recently and while I had it replaced the vibration that was gone initially, is back. Its only really bad when I hit bumps in a particular way and it doesn't seem to matter how fast I'm going when the vibration happens. How much should I pay to have the mount replaced? I feel like I was gouged the first time around especially if the mount that was replaced has gone bad again. I didn't go to the dealership since I'm not under warranty anymore but what should I expect to pay to replace the mounts?
Thanks

need a class on TIRES 101!!!
ever figure out the vibration @ 54mph? - curious if you have held the RPM in the same range as when your driving to see if its engine vibration... I just found mine vibrates at ~2400-2500RPM, which I thought was a tire balance issue.

We just purchased an 05 Mazda 3 for my daughter. It had a vibration over sharp bumps that our mechanic said was struts. After reading info here about the #3 motor mount I decided to give it a try. Bought one on eBay for $50 and took about 10 minutes to install. Presto! Problem solved. Couldn't tell the old one was bad until it was removed. Then, it was quite obvious!

2011 Mazda 3 (Automatic),bad motor mounts

They are lying if they say there is no problem with the mounts on regular M3's I have replaced the front right and the back mounts and vibration is better but still think will have to do the transmission mount. Also jerks from drive or park when you put in reverse. Sounds like they should recall all M3 mounts.
