D M N Posted August 14, 2003 Author Report Posted August 14, 2003 thats all i know and i just spent $500 for new motor mounts and its the same problem Quote
Slade901 Posted August 14, 2003 Report Posted August 14, 2003 Is the scraping sound dissapears once you are driving straight on the road/street? Quote
Redfox340 Posted August 14, 2003 Report Posted August 14, 2003 thats all i know and i just spent $500 for new motor mounts and its the same problem Okay... that's not good. But, could you e-l-a-b-o-r-a-t-e on your condition? We may be able to help you out! - Erik Quote
mdelorie Posted August 15, 2003 Report Posted August 15, 2003 similar, kinda, not really, almost related issue: my engine sits in the bay (DUH, where else would it sit?) anyways... when you look at the dog bone torque struts, they both seem to angle out from the front of the engine bay and to the left, as if the passenger side of the engine was sitting low... sign of a worn out mount? I tried to take a look for it from underneath, but hell, I can't even SEE the motor mount. any ideas / suggestions? I guess a 2x4 under the oil pan and a jack should raise the engine enough. Quote
Devilsdawg Posted August 16, 2003 Report Posted August 16, 2003 2x4 across oil an trans on floor jack will raise it up enough to tell if it the mounts-but u said u've already replaced them--check cv joints or brakes :?: Quote
D M N Posted September 15, 2003 Author Report Posted September 15, 2003 sorry i didnt know what i was talking about ok well i took it back to the mechanic and they told me that the catalytic converter was messed up and the element it side it was causing that scraping sound and the frame wasnt scraping it was just worn spring also my exhaust sound "meaner" its the OEM exhaust too Quote
