IT could be yes, but take a snap of the top moutn, i want to see how farward you have put it, as I fell into the trap years ago with this and i didn't think you could move it very much but you can move it quite a lot.

The dogbone mount is the one under the car - you can get harder bushes called poly bushes which stop alot of the movment.

Alright yea took dog bone off. And the bushes looked fine and solid. And the top engine mount I completely removed cambelt cover. So mount was free and moved it about a inch forward lol.

Cant be asked to take it garage cause will get costly. I need some 1 local to take it for a drive and see what they think really. Only
other thing i can think of is top gearbox mount. If its anything to do with exhaust I wouldn't no where to start
