whatup yall.

I gotta 92 XL sport thats been poppin and clickin alot recently. I replaced the Radius arm bushings and that cleaned up a lot of a squwashing scrunching sound. Now im left with a popping that comes everytime i shift.

Right after i shift and accelerate is when i get this 'Tink' comming from the front end. It only comes when the car gets a good jolt like when its first put in gear or when the engine stumbles when i accelerate.

the engine still runs pretty smoothy except for the stumbling followed by that *KNOCK*... any suggestions?
 






My first thought is a bad motor mount, which allows the motor to shift too much under those conditions.
 






hrmm... The motor mounts are there... i didnt see any cracks or anything... possible they are still bad even though they appear ok?
