'New' 850T--making progress (ABS, engine mounts) and a question on a clunk 850

Well, the new-to-me 850T is coming along--fixed the CV boot, "front" (right) engine mount, did an oil change, filters, etc., and replaced the pinhole-leaking oil return line. (BTW, the o-ring on the lower end of the replacement is REALLY important...)

Most importantly, Victor Rocha did the ABS controller repair--kept it less than a day, and you can't ask for better than that. So add my recommendation to the many on this board for his services.

Now, the new stuff: I managed to get a CEL after changing the fuel filter. It took a LOT of cranking to start afterward, and then sort of stumbled when starting. Common/normal? Guess I don't have to worry until another 100k!

The engine mount did not fix an occasional metallic clunk on the driver's side when hitting a bump. Per many posts, I've gone through the front suspension, and checked at least part of the rear. But it sounds forward of the rear end--almost under your feet. Ideas or specific things to check? Thanks!
