Re: Rear/Side motor mounts
99% of the time its the front mount that fails. If left floppy for an extended amount of time, it can put extra stress on the rear mount. Have you replaced the front? If so, and you still think the rear mount is bad, its a not more involved than the front. I've never seen a side mount fail, EVER.

Re: Rear/Side motor mounts
Front mount is brand new. New axles, control arms, struts, mounts, steering rack, tie rods, and wheel bearings. I feel like the engine/trans is able to move back and forth (transversely) too much right now. The vibrations seem to be RPM related, and I can hear a distinct clunk when I go into reverse. Like the engine coming off of the mount.
Re: Rear/Side motor mounts
Is the procedure more or less the same as the front mount? support the engine from underneath and then replace the mount?

Re: Rear/Side motor mounts
What front mount did you put in? The aftermarket ones are junk. You're lucky if you get 6 months out of them.
Do you have a way to take a video of you switching gears and seeing the motor flop around?

Re: Rear/Side motor mounts
Okay, so I switched back to my boat roller mount. The shake is still there. If anything it feels worse now than when I had the OEM mount on there. The reason I had gone to the OEM mount was because I was driving from Ohio to Florida and didn't want the vibrations with the boat roller mount. Andrew, I will try to send you a video on facebook and get your opinion.
