Rear shock mounts are blown out. Did *somebody* happen to install new shocks not too long ago? I'm not familiar with your car.

To check the engine mount..place a long prybar between the body mount and the engine mount. Lift or pull down depending on how you place the prybar. 99% of every street car I look at it BROKEN. Porsche knew there was a problem with them and changed the design for the later Boxsters and Caymans.

Mount as it is on your engine under the car:



BLOWN OUT Mount..



How it ALL begins...

No one installed new shocks that I know of, they look original. I will have to check the motor mount as you suggested. Thanks for the input.
