Full Monty Member 513 Member For: 17y 4m 27d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 30/01/08 11:24 PM Share Posted 30/01/08 11:24 PM what is the symptom of a broken engine mount? a loud clunk when lifting off from flooring it, seems to be coming from this area, and I noticed the rocker cover has gouged the bonnet lining slightly, Left side, front area of the rocker cover has yellow dust from the heat sheild material.Only just happened in the last day or 2, and noticed it when I lifted the bonnet this morning.also noticed the car is wobbling a little bit on idle in neutral.

Full Monty Member 513 Member For: 17y 4m 27d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 31/01/08 03:47 AM Share Posted 31/01/08 03:47 AM (edited) Ok I can confirm its the left side engine mount, cost me $184 inc GST from fraud.to check it, put the car in drive, foot on brake and bonnet up, apply gentle throttle and watch for the engine movement,it will move upward excessively to one side if one is broken..... if the left side lifts up in drive then its the left mount, if the right side lifts in reverse its the right mountLuckily its the left, as it can be done at home in the driveway with a trolley jack and stands, simple 2 bolt job.the right one is hard to get to and needs a hoist, also has a heat shield etc surrounding it making access a little tricky.
