I was thinking motor mounts aswell.
Wheel bearing feels good - no wheel play vertically and I've had a stethoscope on it while the car is airborn, no noise that I can hear.
I removed the left side tranny mount last night and inspected it - one tear on either side, but its not catastrophic and still appears intact.
But what does concern me are my solid poly front and rear mounts.
Inspecting the front mount, it appears that the vibrating engine has caused the through-bolt to rub and wear on the through-bolt holes, enlarging them in the up/down direction. I can actually see the hole above and below the flange of the bolt head.
I checked the torque on that bolt the other night, and it was good - but noise is still there. I haven't been able to check the rear yet because its tough to access, but I don't see the same kind of wear that I'm seeing in the front.
I'll snap a picture next chance I get.
I'm still trying to record some audio of this noise, but my phone can't seem to pick it up.
