yesterday my engine started moving up and down from just turning the wheels. i replaced the near side engine mount as i thought it was that. tried it again and it's doing the same thing, the whole angine and gearbox is moving while spinning the wheels. it looks like it's trying to rip the new engine mount apart again.
anyone got a clue what it could be?
rest of the mounts are in good condition and everything it tight
it's on a sapph 4x4 cossie by the way

 

Have you checked the engine subframe bolts arn't loose?
Other than that if you say the engine mounts are ok then i would check the gearbox mount to the car!

 

yep subframe bolts are all tight. gearbox mount looks in good condition as well. the engine seems to be lifting more on the near side

 

is there any chance the gearbox or front diff could cause the engine to twist up on the near side if there was something wrong with either of them?

 

just change em all, safe that way.

 

All sorted now, it was the driveshaft
