I was having difficulty removing the driver side bolts for the lower control arm. Then, I noticed the end of the transmission case was sitting on the sub frame, blocking the bolt(s). I take it this is a bad thing and an obvious symptom of bad engine mounts? A quick inspection of the front and driver side mounts doesn't reveal any torn or otherwise damaged looking mounts. Are these things deceptive looking? Any help on this matter or replacement tips would be greatly appreciated. BTW, this the 2.5l engine.
