I probably ought to do this, as I wouldn't be surprised if they were completely bare at this point.Rear motor mount is bad about degrading to the point of the center bolt/sleeve making direct contact with the aluminum mount body. On my 2005 3.8L, my rear mount was metal on metal by about 225,000 miles... at which time I replaced all four mounts.
I was changing my end links again today (as I butchered the last ones) and was playing around with the sway bar and noticing, I can't really get it to move at all, even levering on it. I'm not exactly sure how tight it ought to be, but I'm kind of wondering if maybe the bushings that hold it to the vehicle are too tight? Perhaps the bar itself isn't able to actually move freely up and down as needed.
I was thinking maybe I should try putting some washers on the bolts so that it isn't held so tightly and maybe that might make a difference.
Other thing I just recently noticed is that when I'm getting the loudest clunks, it seems like it may be the windshield wiper bouncing up and down over large bumps. I haven't driven with it lifted yet just to see how it affects things.
At any rate, I couldn't let this problem go just yet.
