Engine mount?

i was thikn if it was that wouldent it do it even if i gave it a hard rev

when it has a load it might grab more?
try get underneath and just tighten every bolt you can see on suspension and engine mounts etc.
and look at bushes etc.

also take to pedders for i think its $15 stering suspension n shit check
tell them what its doin and they will do all their checks and give u a list of bullshit. but will tell you specifically what they think the noise is.

+1 what holmsy said, I get that pedders check every six to 12 months or so. Money well spent if you ask me.

honestly alot of the shit they say to replace is bull
they quoted me well over a grand in shit and they said it was pretty good
they picked on shit that really had nothing wrong.
but they did give me some ideas of what would be makin the noise i had.

Haha yep it helps to know the kents there I suppose. If there is a problem they show me, I buy the parts off them and change the bits myself. BI6TIM took me there once because he knew the guys, having a turbo charged EA means that they remember me so it's all good.

Depends on the Pedders. The one I go to have always been honest to me - when I took my Falcons there anyway. They don't know fuck-all about Euro cars though. Tossers.
