Default Re: Front end "snap" in 1991 Honda Accord EX with manual transmission

Hi JT

I've already looked at the motor mounts the best I could... The front
one is easy to see and reach... It appears to be ok. The back one is
a large "complex looking" unit almost impossible to get at easily for a
good inspection.

Using a line-of-sight viewing and a mirror on a stick, I don't see any
damage to the rear mount.

I guess I could tape a microphone to it, run the mike cable to a
headset inside the car, then listen to see if it seems to be the source
of the noise. That technique might not be a bad thing to do with the
control arms, etc. either. The noise should be much louder (in theory)
once I mike the "culprit" component.

Thanks for your input,

RJ
