    Okay guys....I popped the hood and got in the car and started it up and then watched through the windshield as the engine jumped as I put the car in reverse. It definitely jumped and made the clunking noise while doing it. So, this means some mounts are bad, correct?

    Now, are worn dog bone mounts capable of allowing the engine to jump that much or would the lower mounts more than likely be the culprit(s)?

    I went to the local GM dealer up here in Canada and they wanted approx. $800.00 for all four mounts. I definitely don't want to spend that much if I don't have to so I would like to try to eliminate some from the situation if I can.

    thanks...

    You can get normal upper mounts for like 30 bucks, or ZZPs polyurathane mounts are only 60. Lower mounts are even cheaper. Dealerships are ****ing retarded.

    Okay, great. Now exactly where can I get these cheaper factory mounts from for the top and bottom that you speak of? Those prices are more in line with what I thought they should be. Sorry for the questions but I am new to the grand prix scene.

    Auto Parts Fast at RockAuto

    They're I think $28.99 or something like that from there for stock replacements.

    Or if you're into modding you can get these ones from ZZP for $59.99

    Should I replace the upper mounts as well, or just the lower ones?
