Is this part needed ?

What is the function of the "engine damper" and is this a maint. item that should be replaced while changing engine mounts ?

Looks like it should help keep those 4 cylinder vibes under control... I don't know how long they last though. Might as well replace it with the mounts, how often is that, every 125,000 miles?
