Finished up today. Drivers side looked just as clean.
While I was in there, I got around to doing the idler pulley and the fuel filter. I then disconnected the battery and inserted the key to make sure no residual power was present. Connected everything back up and on 2nd attempt to start it fired up and ran perfect.
However...I think the engine mounts are toast. I visually inspected them and they didn't look collapsed at all by any stretch, but while driving I noticed at idle that the steering wheel is shaking. Do you think this indicates both need to be replaced?
