bad motor mounts???

[RonBo]

Checking your motor mounts is simple.
Pop the hood, start her up, put it in 1st and give it a little gas,
and let off, a couple of times.
(foot on the brake of course)
watching the motor to see how much it leans and listen for the thud or bang.
It should lean a bit of course but you should have to make it work
a little and there should be no bang in the movement.
Try the same in reverse.
Easy and excessive movement, say more than 2+ inches ( or banging/thud noises) mean new mounts.
Get a friend at the pedal so you can watch the motor and
mounts up close.
