Default What are the symptoms of a broken motor mount?

I was just wondering if anyone knew what happens when you break a motor mount...

Some of the symptoms of a broken motor mount are kind of obvious. First off when you shift some what at hight rpms fast you will hear a clank or popping noise. Also your motor tends to vibrate a bit more. Just pop your hood and look at the mounts, if you see any oil around the mounts they are done.

I think I was the first RSXS to bust his motor mount.

Another sympton: steering wheel shakes when at a standstill/stop. Once you get going, it stops vibrating.

Unless you have the J's damper or the ES motor mount inserts, thats normal.
