I was wondering how difficult replacing this motor mount would be.

I have terrible front end clunking and i have already replaced the swaybar bushings and endlinks. THe passenger motor mount looks squished from being so worn but idk what it looks like normally.

Ill upload a pic once i get home today to see what anyone here has to say about the condition of it. If it is an easy job i might just end up replacing it anyway and if it only reduces the clunk, then i can focus on the motor mounts on the crossmember. The clunk kinda feels like the engine is bouncing around so i hope this is it. It really prevents me from fully enjoying the ride.

The passenger mount is not too bad to change. I poly filled mine with McMaster Carr 60A poly for under $40. Getting to the bottom bolt on the mount can be a pain if you dont feel like taking anything apart to get to it. I ended up using two u-joints and a few extensions to get to it and busted a u-joint breaking it loose.

Ok so ill spare this thread from large pics and give you a >link< to the album of my passenger mount instead. So is this an easy to spot dummy flag that i haven't taken seriously yet?

As you will see, my car is close friends with corrosion so i am only going to tackle a mount if it is easy. I took a look at the mounts on the crossmember and they dont look like they need immediate replacement like this one does.

Have you replaced that motor mount? Was that causing the clucking sound? And is it more like when you hit on gas you feel like the right front wheel is falling...??
I am having the same problem and my passenger side motor mount looks exactly like yours...
