broken motor mount?

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

Larry:
The procedure I use is 15mm wrench remove 2 holding nuts the motor mount to 
the chassis on the right side.  Once clear of the mounting studs, try 
twisting it, it shouldn't twist or have any slop in it.  The more obvious 
ones just fall down into your hand. = Bad mount.  If the car has high miles, 
or the wing clearance appears lower than the left side, total removal of the 
mount might be necessary for inspection.  You are looking for 
cracking/separation of the rubber and the mounting stud.  Spray the upper 
mounting stud with PB/WD40, 17mm socket.  If the mount is trashed, you need 
to remove the lower cup, and vice grip the steel protrusion from underneath.
