Car=1999 Si

Ok so my motor mounts are shot, really shot. Found out the back motor mount under the intake isn't even bolted to the motor, the mount next to the AC compresser is completely broken away, and the under the tranny to the frame rail has both bolt holes stripped. There is nothing to bolt the damn mount to!!

Questions

1. How in the hell do I get the bolt for the engine mount under the intake in there? I can hardly see it, under and over the engine. I am not pulling the intake.

2. The mount on the tranny side on the bottom, what should I do to fix this? The nuts are completly broken inside the frame, and both bolts are half undone.

3. I think my axle shaft on the driver side is bad, grease in the wheel and when I drive I hear popping, the faster I drive (no matter RPM), the faster the clicking. What all needs replaced when doing this?

4. Whenever I just get in my car and got to leave somewhere, and I cut the wheel hard to the left as I am backing out, there is a loud pop I can feel through the wheel, is that the axle shaft doing that? I didn't see anything out of place other then that when I was under there.

Could also get the Energy Suspension engine/torque mount kit.

Ok I will give that a shot.

I was going to use those engine mount iserts, but never got any feedback if they were any good in a previous thread. I think I will still get them.

As for the clicking noises, you guys think its the axle shaft doing that. Is that normaly jsut the CV part?

 

I'm going to find out if the inserts are any good in a week or so. D-side torque mount is completely torn... my friend said the Energy Suspension set can still be used on it to fix it. Everything I've heard about them is that the car will shake more from the engine vibrations, being that the Energy Suspension inserts are made of a stiffer material than OEM.

 

So I got my Energy Suspension inserts today. I'll probably install them in this weekend.

Reading up on them a little bit, I see people mention that it's a good idea to use long/thin bolts in place of the plastic zip ties included with the inserts. I'm going to get stainless bolts, looks like a #8 fits perfectly.
