I'm finally in a position to spend a few dollars on some needed car maintenance. I replaced the drivers door window tracks this past weekend, it was much easier than I was prepared for, which was a great relief, but I digress. My front end is getting a little clunky and so is the back for that matter. I took it to the shop and they put it on the rack and tweaked everything and looked into all of the nooks and cranny. Here's the diagnosis; 1) Motor mounts need replacing and I did look with them and one is real bad cracked and bulging the other is not good, just cracked. 2) Trans. mount, maybe but not sure, will remove the bottom plastic and I said be ready to replace it but not sure. 3) The front control arms bushings are bad and cracked and may be causing a little metal on metal thus the clunking over rough road. 4) I'm just glad it's not the struts, though it might be and we won't know until the control arms are done. (?) Questions; 1) Has anyone changed their own motor mounts? I'm pretty skilled with this would be a driveway job and it seams tougher than brakes and rotors and the window rails too. 2) I won't even think about doing the control arms myself. Has anyone had this work done for reasons as stated above? Heard of this type of issue? Your results? Your cost? Of course I'm in CA the SF Bay Area which tends to distort $$$. Thanks, Gary
