hey thanks Fivefinger. you reply to almost every thread i make. appreciate it.

both lower mounts are good. i replaced the motor mount myself and the trans mount was replaced when the previous owner had a trans rebuild. at least i hope......it looks good. i swapped the uppers last year for some used ones that were basically nothing and it was better than what the car had when i got it. but they might be bad again. i should probably check them but i always forget when im actually with the car. before i swapped those out you could just put your hand on the block and move it back and forth relatively easily. it was much better after i swapped them. maybe i should do the dogbone flip.

however.....sometimes it feels like the car just wants to fall apart. its a weird sensation but it kind of vibrates/shakes at times while driving. hard to describe and i dont have a way to duplicate it. it just does it from time to time, like something isnt tight in there. i've replaced nearly everything supension related/drive related except struts and coils. New axles, hubs, control arms, sway bar bushings.....ive even replaced the front brake calipers and all rotors and pads. the rear coils sag (i do have like 400 pounds in the trunk but it sags anyway) but the front does not appear too. they look too high if you ask me. but they are stock. for the life of me i can't figure out what it is. its done it for the past year, maybe even as long as i've had it.

when putting the car in reverse the axle/transmission makes a pop sound. the van does it too. and many cars i've driven. i dont know if this related in any way.
