Is this a 'Healthy' Looking Lower Gearbox Mount?

[-J-]

Is this what the lower Gearbox mount should look like, or is the one in the photo damaged?

looks fine to me

I'm trying to diagnose a massive engine/wheel wobble and was hoping that the mount looked knackered and i had found the issue

(The mount above is not mine but looks in same condition)

you tried the ball joints? Mine had a similar problem, changed upper gearbox mount and ball joints = job done.

All Upper mounds have been done, not done the ball joints but they look to be ok.

The issue I am having is when under load from 50mph the whole car is shaking as if a wheel is not balanced (Although I know they are as I have tried two sets of wheels and still have the issue)

check your driveshafts the ns have caused faults before.

That is totally normal, it really does do naf all.

Cheers Tom,

Onwards with trying to work out what's causing the issue. My moneys still on the shaft but I don't want to fork out £250 + fitting until I'm sure it's gonna cure the issue

come and put it on the ramp. I'll tell you if the shaft is shot in minutes

can you give a hint? I'm quite far from your ramp tbh i'm getting some occasional full lock knock (am running k-tec top mounts, new wishbones, poly bushes, new shocks etc) and who knows I may have a faulty driveshaft
thx!
