Broken Motor mounts

[-$MOKIN-]

Can broken motor mounts cause jerking while hitting a bump and irregular camber? Ive noticed that my wheels seem to be different in camber every time i look at it. and i think my motor mounts are bad.

motor mounts wont effect camber. what do you mean by jerking? like it wants to pull towards a certain direction?

[-$MOKIN-]

Yeah like my wheel bearing is bad but there not just did both sides

[88lxi-shortram]

it sounds like something in the steering... do you have PS? i know my 72 f100 does that when you hit a pothole or something. but its been in an accident with a small amount of frame damage. has yours? if not check tie rods, and other easily damaged steering components

[-$MOKIN-]

Yup .. not a accident but a tie rod broke once and tucked my wheel in my wheel well. I replaced everything lower control arms wheel bearing all ball joints and both tie rods.

[88lxi-shortram]

did you get an alignment afterwards?

[88lxi-shortram]

and tighten/tprque everything properly?

Sounds like the radius rod bushings.

[-$MOKIN-]

YUP did the alignment. thanks import racer didn't do them... can those bushings make the wheel look like its sitting different every time i get out of it. ? Its like the damn thing looks jacked up sometimes then sometimes the camber looks fine.. I didn't do the stabilizer bar either that's next il do those bushings while im at it too.

could be that or it could be tie rods or lower ball joint or upper ball joint if its bad enough. could be alot of things, jack the car up and start prying on things, whatever has play in it is the problem, or at least needs to be changed

I'd re-check the torque on the spindle nuts. S/b 134 ft-lbs.

Broken motor mounts will give you a lot of vibration at idle and you'll feel the weight of the engine clunking around in the engine bay as you accelerate and decelerate.
