SOLVED THE 90 80q Noise!!

[Alexander van Gerbig]

    Just discovered my engine mounts are on the wrong sides of the engine.
Thus my mystical clunking noises and sagging passenger's engine mount from
day one after the install.  Mechanic told me not to worry when I mentioned
the mount was sagging right after the install.  Both of us were convinced it
was the custom transmission mount causing the problems, but nope wrong
mount.  The passenger's mount holds most of the weight, isn't supported by a
transmission mount on that side in FWD cars, and that also the side of the
engine that catches all the torquing of the engine/trans.  Thanks for the
$250 labor bill for making my car worse than when it had 12 year old engine
mounts.  Can't any of these hi performance, expensive labor rate shops get
stuff properly done at least 90% of the time?  Not in my experience!
