Just did the passenger side engine mount today, what a PITA...why did they have to put the bolt for the mount next to the oil filter, and make it impossible to change the mount w/o removing the bracket from the block....I got some washers and put the bolt thru the opposite side to make it easier for next time.
Doing the Driverside Mount Tues or Wed along w/ my pass side LCA and both UCA's, already did the Driverside LCA.
I was getting some DW when hitting bumps, my bushings in both LCA are horribly brittle. Just doing the driverside made an improvement
Trying to get all maintenance done before my lift this spring, ball joints are January's project, good thing we have a 2 car garage at the new house:rick:

Sounds like you are getting on with your project pretty well there.
