i got a hatch with a b16 in it but i want to know is how or what noises do you hear so you can tell when your motor mounts go bad. i would like to know? i know beside movement what noises can it make to determine if its bad.

Should just be able to visually inspect them and determine. For example on mine, My Driver side lower motor mount was Blown out... I got under the car and looked and there was no rubber left inside the motor mount.

you should feel vibrations like crazy if they have gone bad

Or if they'r like mine the motor will hit the hood on hard shifts :/ New mounts are on their way tho.

But usually you can visually inspect them for cracks or missing rubber. Or if you've rcently develposed some really bad wheel hop. Also a problem of mine now.

There are two ways a motor mount can really go bad,

1. Crack in the rubber
2. Damaged bolts ( *RARE* only happens to race cars, unless your pushing 1200 hp +)

I recently broke a motor mount and I will post pictures up of what you should look for!

Thats a cracked motor mount I did not have the time to circle the crack but you should be able to see it.

ok so on my when i go over speed bumps i here like on my pass side like hard hits and bad noise. at first i thought that is was my rack making the noise but i replaced that and i also replaced all my suspension but all that i got left is the mounts. that is what i think could be making noise cause it makes like real loud clunks noises
