1. learn how to cross-post - don't post duplicate messages on separate
groups.
2. all rubber motor mounts, on all vehicles, break at some time or
other. apart from clunking and other strange noises, it's rarely big a
deal and it's certainly not unique to honda.

I had THREE broken motor mounts on my 2000 Honda Accord that had to be
changed out in 2005. I brought it in due to the strange rattles when
hitting bumps on these lovely Louisiana highways where bumps are the
norm and smooth roads are rare.
