Ok, checked the struts and they are good, but I think I found the problem. I couldnt pinpoint the exact location of the noise so I drove the car with the shifter boot removed, and its the tranny, bouncing up and down. I checked the mounts and they are still there but are cracked/deteriorated and the center bolt through the crossmember looks like its supposed to have a rubber bushing on it or spacer or something but its not there , just the bolt hanging down with a rubber ring around the head of it that sits about a half inch from the crossmember (I think at speed when hitting bumps this allows the tranny to bounce up and down) Am I on track with this? Cant find anything relating to it in the manual, but thats what it looks like. I also cant find this spacer/bushing anywhere on the internet. Any Ideas?
....I think Ill start a new thread on this.
