i have a loud, clanking noise coming from my front passenger tire, or at least that direction/area. it shakes the car as well. it only happens when taking off in 1st from a dead stop, or downshifting into 2nd. if i downshift into 1st and am still rolling when i take off, it doesnt make the noise. i thought it might be the axle, and the driver's side needed replaced anyways, so i bought both and took it to a well known local shop. they said the passenger axle was fine. they told me they think it might be a motor mount. would a bad motor mount do this? i dont want to buy the mounts, just to find out it wasnt the answer. any input is greatly appreciated as it is the most annoying thing ever.
