Unless your mounts are weak to the point that your engine is falling to the side other than that I have no clue. Can you elaborate somehow, my mind seems to be stuck at huh. Perhaps pics, vids, sound....Ambalamps...

You guy's don't have good brains,aside from K Ryde. Typical American high school student mentalities, thinking of the quickest witted thing to say, rather than take in a thought and process it. It's a disease. You sit in your car. get in and drive get up to a high speed and corner at vast speeds, when you turn your car to the right suddenly the strut and spring will hold the car well with little body roll, where when you turn right the side in which most pressure would be on the motor turn left and the down force will be on the engine side. this side dips more with he weight of the engine. It happens more when you carry a passenger, because the motor is on the passenger side. Your body, at least my 200lb body helps the balance. But the engine still weighs more and carries on the front of the vehicle with more down force and leverage. Accelerating while turning helps the handling alot because of this. keeping downforce on the rear of the vehicle
K Ryder, I did have a lose engine mount, good call although i found it just after posting this I just put this motor AND trans in this car from a 1995. BUT however The car still dips significantly more on the engine side than the transside

first of all, your first post still doesn't make sense, why didn't you post this from the get go?
Our engine is not that heavy, the front pass side has like 100more lbs on it compared to the front drivers side. maybe some of your suspension parts are on their way out...

^This. I agree with all of it. Plus, what do you think our transmissions weigh, nothing? It's over 100 lbs dry. You shouldn't be able to notice a difference in side weight on these cars unless something's broken.

Honestly, even your long winded description came out gibberish. I can sort of make out you're saying the car leans more right than left feeling like you have a weak right spring. See? I accomplished that in 1 sentence, it's not so hard. I suggest you take a writing course.

Don't feel bad. You're not the only one with a slow brain that couldn't make sense of that post.

I think I get it
The handle speedofsalt is a refence to his ablility to comunicate and comprehend his own shortcomings in the "good brains" department. Question is, it it the speed that salt and oxygen oxidizes bare metal? Or the speed that salt formations, say in caves, erodes? I guess it doesn't really matter either way.
Don't come on here with your BS retarded giberish, and start throwing insults when we dont know what the heII your trying to comunicate to us.
Note: no offence meant to anyone with disabilities -except speedofsalt.

ive never heard of an engine side dipping thats weird and doesn't sound normal.
only reason motor would move is bad motor mounts. put it in drive and hold brake while someone watchs the motor and give it a lil gas and if the motor lifts check out the mount with play.
goodluck....
