Hi all,

Update: got the corteco motor mounts in today and took the car for a quick spin.
Steering wheel shake is still there. I didn't take it for a long run but got it up to 60. I will update again when I get it on the highway as to whether the vibration in the seat and floor are still there.

On the plus side the passenger mount was completely done for. Now my engine sits well above the crossmember. Much smoother feel at idle and much smoother ride in general so far. Also, a knock emminating from the lower engine seems to be gone. Very happy about that.

Back to the drawing board I suppose. I have a set of inner tie rods I never installed. After separating the inner and outers there was no in and out play but you could swivel the tie rods in their ball joint with extreme ease. Also, the passenger steering rack boot had separated and there was some debri in the inner tie rod ball joint. What do you all think about that?

Will probably examine the brake calipers again as well but I am confounded.

Any other input is much appreciated.
