Can't comment on the engine mounts as mine are totally different but I do have a problem when going round right hand corners - the engine must move on the big rubber mounts so that one of the drive shaft tripode joints hit the end of the cups - lots of rattling and vibrations, worse the faster the corner is taken.
This is obviously down to me as I mocked up my drive shafts staticly in the garage and just made sure there was no binding when the suspension moved through its normal range - should have knocked maybe 5mm off the lengths to allow for lateral engine movement.
Don't fancy shelling out for another set of drive shafts so I will just stiffen up the engine mounts to reduce lateral movement.
Another litle job to add to the list for the winter / when I can be bothered - just happy to be driving around in it at the moment.
