Absolutely. IMO, that thump is yer engine lifting up and dropping back down into the engine bar. Your mount is likely split right in half, at least on one side. Thanks again! Need to order the parts, where do you guys like ordering from? Get under the car and look before you order anything. A bad engine mount can be seen. Loose shocks can be seen. Missing bushings can be seen. Don't just throw money at it. Take an afternoon, get under the car and look. (and yes - I know damn well the pot calling the kettle black) Zach Yes! I should have mentioned in my post above, you dont need any fancy camera. Just climb under the car and have a look. The rubber engine mounts are under the fan shroud on top on the engine mount bar. (That is for a later - side shift) For a tail shift, there will be solid brackets in that location and the soft mounts are outboard where the bar connects to the body. |

Broken mounts are not always visible to the eye. They can appear fine when they are in fact not!

Besides looking, get a small pry bar and try to move things like shocks, bushings, and mounts. It is amazing what you can find this way.

Get under the car and take some quality pictures. Post them here.
I wouldn't drive it. |
