Just replaced my motor mounts. Just sharing my experience and also need some help.

As far as the mounts. Wow, huge difference. I had one mount that was completely collapsed. Some tips for the next guy. 8mm underneath be careful not to strip the bolt. Hit the bit with a hammer to seat it well and use a breaker bar to get it moving. I took the bolts out and then slightly threaded one in while working on the other mount. I didn't have issues lining up the 8mm screws I think because of that. Both inner bolts I got out from the bottom. Can't imagine how u can reach them from up top. I removed the air filter housing for space.

Now for the question. The mounts took out the violent shakes but the car still has a rhythmic shake going on. Worse at hot engine. Should I replace the rack damper screw? Also, the car shakes a bit when you turn it off , does that indicate the engine shocks are bad? I couldn't quite tell if the engine shocks were good. I had to pull them down to get the bottom bolt on. Does that indicate anything?

Thanks guys.
