[s-cars] "groaning" when turning left - UPDATE

[Serge Filanovsky]

Hello "Bob"
IME the motor mount under the turbo is difficult to inspect, I thought mine
was ok, but further poking around and closer inspection revealed that it was
completely wasted. Also, the front "snubber" mount can be a cause for some
annoying "buzzing" sounds even with stock exhaust. No real way to inspect
this, just remove the bolts that hold the bracket to the engine and pull out
and replace during oil change. ECS used to stock the poly. unit from APR
that works on our cars for around 45 beans.
