about a month ago i started getting a creaking noise from the engine bay whenever the clutch started to grab, i tried pushing down on suspension to see if it was a strut but when idid no noise then i throw my weight on the motor there came the creaking noise. i thought the motor was moving do to the snub mount being all worn out but it is still there after i changed but is not as evident. After doing a couple searches on motor mounts i saw they usually leak a purple liquid when they go bad. i went under and they were clean as a whistle. anyone ever have this problem?

 

sounds more like a control arm problem just starting to wear out

 

u think the control arms would creak when the clutch grabs it seems like it creaks whenever the motor moves although sometimes it does make the noise when go over some bumps when its in nuetral, but ijust it was the motor moving around. it also makes the noise when the car is at a dead stop and me letting the clutch grab, with e-brake up

 

yes because you are putting load on the motor causing the suspension to move also

 

any idea which bushing or maybe a part #, thanks for all the help

u think i could just change a bushing

 

just out of curiosity why is your screen name cl conversion,

 

u think, this would keep me from chirping second, i used to be able to do it barely trying, not i cant even get a little one, or would this be the sign of the clutch starting to go. i not sure if its the clutch cause revs are pretty constant with speed under full throttle. i haven't been able to chirp for a month or two now. always thought is was cause of the mount

 

maybe your getting better at driving it?
