Driver's side engine mount took a crap and now I get the clunk noises from stop and go motion. Didn't want to go through the trouble of getting it replaced. I had a new set of eBay hood dampers that never fit the car so I had them laying around. Being resourceful, I decided to use one of the dampers as a torque link. Surprisingly, this nearly eliminated the issue. Barely even hear the noise anymore. Huge difference. Only con is that I had to take a hammer and bang a dent into the hood to make clearance for it to close.
Not that my opinions and observations mean sh*t to anyone and I'm absolutely willing to keep my damn mouth shut ... but I see several things quite wrong with that situation.
