Take some pics of your engine from all over. Post a frontal shot under near the steering rack and all over. Post pics of the valve covers from the top down to show how close to the strut tower they are. Does the engine look like it leans to one side?

from what you have seen, what is the actual problem... bad motor mount?

dont know as I've never asked "why"....... I do know for a fact that a few of the people who bought them were doing a new engine install wth new mounts and aftermarket "K" members......so it coulds be either an engine mount issue, aftermarket "K" member issue, or????

oh and I think I remember atleast 1 case of a 99/00 GT DOHC (wth the "odd" Windsor) oil filter housing hitting the frame on launch at the track....
