it does indeed. I had two out of four mountings broken, did clonk a bit when
accelerating, so I eventually decided to go for new rubbers  and
(unfortunately) had someone to weld it up. I'd much rather done it myself, b
ut no welding gear available. Depending on how agile your mechanic is, it
can be quite a lot of work if he insists to take the petrol tank out (you're
sort of welding directly under it) and for access the diff out instead of
just lowering it.
