...1)well just a little while ago i was on queens blvd, anyways...while downshifting from 3rd to 2nd i heard a loud POP...this is the first time i ever heard it...wut could it be?, should i worry about it?...car still drives feels fine, the only thing is my oil was a little low, and the sound came on durring hard turns...thats one...
2)while putting some oil in, i noticed my motor was a little loose...when i would push down on the bottom left side of the intake manifold, the motor seemed kinda loose, could thisbe one of the upper mounts?...i have the turn2 bottom front mount...should i worry about it?...will my motor hit my hood?, should i drive easy?...thanks in advance for any info/help...

...the poping sound sounded like a backfire, happened when i gassed it and downshifted...my car has been making a clunking noise on bumps, and going onto driveways etc...thought it was a strut bearing but they were replaced like 3-4 months ago when i got my h&rs...damnit...i swear its ALWAYS something...times like these i consider selling and getting somethig else...
...any other ideas???
