Loose body mount - Is it normal ??? (pics and Videos inside)

Hi Guys !

My truck: 2000 Limited 4runner 3.4L

I am troubleshooting weird body roll when going over bump.
I already fixed couples things that made some improvements but still not fixed completely.

So I inspected my body mounts yesterday. But they all seems in good shape ... at the exception of both rear mounts.

Here are some pictures and a 2 videos of the rear mounts.

Could you tell me if its normal ?
in the videos, I am prying with a small 8in. Pry bar and not putting much force to it.

In comparison, all other mounts were almost not moving.
Do you think this is normal for those mounts to be so soft ?
Should I go ahead and replace those 2 ?

Thanks in advance for your input
Frank

maybe you broke a swaybar end link. Check them out.

Yup ... Rust !

It is a reality up north. I think they use pure acid to melt the ice during winter

I'll go ahead and replace them both.

As for the endlink, thanks for the suggestion but they are fine.

I am pretty sure the strange movement of the rear end will be fixed with new body mount and the panhard drop bracket.
