50K is a bit premature, but the mount does need to be replaced. It is not easy to press OEM mounts into place, so most of us with 5cyl engines opt for the poly mount from IPD which will last forever and are easier to install. The poly mount does tranfer a small amount of vibration to the steering wheel, but I like knowing when the engine is not smooth as silk.
I would place a jack under the pan, just in case the forward mount has also broken - usually at about 125K. Just enough jack to support the engine, 1/4 inch?
