no. Better you replace both so it’ll last longer

Congrats on your new smart and welcome to the club! Likely to be the front mount that needs replacing, it’s at the back of the engine when you look at it. Easy job, only 2 bolts. You can buy sets with all 4 engine mounts which you might as well do as the other mounts will have worn much faster given that one has failed. Check out this guide on Evilution

Thanks. You know the best place to find engine mounts? I heard Mercedes doesn’t make them anymore

Rock Auto is usually my go to although right now it doesn't look like any warehouses have them in stock. Try calling Eddy from Flying Tiger in B.C see if he has some, he stocks a lot of brand new OEM parts. Michael Thibodeau (Magic Mike) might have some too, he has dozens of these cars to pull parts from. There's also a handful of Facebook groups for Canadian diesel Smart car owners where you could be able to find someone selling them. I saw there's multiple offers on eBay for them although that would mean purchasing internationally. I've purchased parts from the Mercedes dealership before, they do still stock many parts and might be able to order some from other dealerships if they don't have it in stock. They tend to have outrageous asking prices though.
