When I was driving the car it was banging/clunking. (Not terrible but noticeable) It made me think that a motor/trans mount might be bad.

I can see the front trans mount looks newer (not rusty or all dirty yet).

Not sure how to check if rear trans mount is good....

But this is side engine mount......

Is this mount normal? On our other bonnevilles that middle piece is more centered in the mount. Where as this one is all pushed out the one side. Makes me think it is bad, but not sure.

Have yet to check the dogbone though.

That torque axis mount is definitely smoked.

Ok. I kinda figured that but we hoping somebody else could confirm.

I just hope I can get the bolts out 8-[ The ones on the 94 were rusted in the holes. So we can to get VERY creative getting the motor in and out.


I also have some vides:
This first one is a video from the top of the motor. Sounds like it has a lifter tick. I am really hoping that squeaking is a pulley and not a rod bearing :sadeyz:

This one is of the exhaust.

This one is from underneath the car. Again you can hear that squeaking.

I think I'm going to have to pull the belts and use the screwdriver trick to figure out where that noise is coming from.

Anyone know of a way to quiet down those lifters?

The squeak almost sounds like one of the idler or tensioner pulleys starting to go bad. When the belt is off, give the idlers a turn by hand and if any of them don't feel right, that's probably what it is. On my 96 I had to replace all the idlers and now its quiet.
