There are three engine mounts:
*Upper engine mount
*Upper trans mount
*Lower torque link big end

All three of these have their own two-piece poly insert, so that's 6 pieces total. Someone also makes a full poly bushing for the lower torque link small end. I don't really see a need as the stock piece is solid rubber, not the flimsy spoked rubber of the rest of the above mount pieces. Get the main 3 pairs and you'll be firmed up enough to vibrate your steering wheel at idle [not joking either].

sounds good, so the big end and the small end or the dog bone are replaced with this kit?
