Remi,
This is most odd.
I just put in a new set on a plane within 12 months and of course made sure the
bolts were pulled up and the spacers were properly seated. No sag on the next
annual. Go figure.
Your landing gear mount and the engine mount are both square aren't they? One
photo seemed to be out of alignment. As you are well aware, the rubber gap when
torqued up should be even front to back and all four should be the same.
Check the rubbers when you swap them out and look for a defect.
Regards,
Bud Yerly

Yesterday I started to remove stuff from the engine compartment with the
intention
of compensating the sagging using washers to shim the engine mounts. What
I saw was worse than expected. See attached pictures. Obviously the new rubber
mounts are a lot softer than the old ones. I am even wondering if such a
configuration
is airworthy and I am looking for advice on that point.
Now what to do? The best would be to replace the rubber mount by the right ones.
I questioned Europa-Swift: they keep saying the supplied rubbers are the same
as before, so I do not expect a solution from this side. Buying direct from
their supplier: does anyone know the supplier name and part number of those
rubber
mounts?
