I want to replace my motor mounts due to heavy vibrations(knocking at high speeds) Can someone help me locate my motor mounts in the compartment, above and/or below and advise on their replacement techniques?

I don't have any manuals on the 88. Can you post some pictures of your engine bay? That way we can try to point them out to you.

On the later models, there are 4 mounts. 2 on the left and right side of the engine bay (one mounts to the trans and the other to the engine). 2 come up from the lower cross memeber and attach near the exhaust manifolds.

Np. I will get that posted this evening about 6:30EST. I also have a diagram from AdvAutoparts which is supposed to indicate the locations as well. Thanks for your help in advance.
