I hear a thump from the right front sometimes when I shift from 1st to 2nd and when I make a left turn over an uneven surface. Strut? Motor or transmission mount? I need help. My car has only 62000 miles and has been well maintained
Sounds to be a engine mount. Put the car in in 1st as you would take off. With the brake on. See if the engine is pulling up on that side. Also do these in reverse.Which ever side your engine moves, is most likely the broke engine mount. To replace this, I usually loosen the mount, jack the engine up just enough for the engine to raise to sit on, take the old mount out and install the new. tighten the bolts and release jack slowly. Go through and tighten the bolts again for tightness. The dealer states on a small car the time is 3-4 hours, but I had my old off and new on within 7 min. So it's an easy job.
