Best thing to do is to replace the motor mounts. The rubber in the mounts have turned harder than wood??????

If u can find some other motor mount that can be retro fitted with minimal modification to the mount then that mite be a cheaper way to go. Maybe not.

Most likely the mount that is broken is the LEFT side???? It's dangerous. When the engine lifts it tries to roll to the rite side of the car lifteing the left side of the engine and thus pulling the throttle linkage OPEN thus making the engine lift worse and at some point binding the linkage in the wide open throttle position.

Let us know if u find a good close retro fit mount. I've not been able to find one. BUT, i havn't tried real hard to find one either.
