Engine Mount on 2.0?

Sometimes when I let off the gas my car jerks really badly


Could this be the engine mount on the timing belt side that looks like a suspenion shock absorber?

Where can you find replacement ones?

I see

Do you have to replace with the same shape washers?

How much of the seat do you have to remove/dismantle to just change the washers?
