For the record, I don't recommend doing that
It's one of the body mounts if you're certain that the suspension components are tight (most likely one or both front mounts). Only way I found to replicate the noise is find the crappiest road around and drive a little faster than you should. Even then, the mount can still get bound up and it...
After looking at the old one, IMO it’s a terrible design. I believe what they were trying to accomplish was sacrifice durability for ride quality. A small clunk was the tradeoff…. The revised part doesn’t look much different other than the material that sits on the frame itself
