Apparently you do, you were the one that said it wasn't a front diff mount. So why are you asking me who cares 
And I don't know if you have looked at a front wheel drive car lately, but the tranny, and transfercase are made into one, and then it goes into transaxle's, which then go to the wheels.

uhh..dude im pretty sure there are very very few cars that have a front differential. every front wheel drive i have ever seen (which is a lot) has the diff integrated innto the transmission...hence the name transaxle. which is what fwd cars have. and you say front mount because its on the front therefore he knows which of the 3 it is. geez. ok im outta this thread...

Also, can anyone on here point me towards a place that sells a set of suspension grommets? Any time I turn the steering wheel I get little clunks from the front end and the grommets look worn when I look under my car.
Thanks

If you front diff mount is bad, it will be very easy to tell. Just grab the front of the differential, and push it up and down, if it move more than a little, then it is broke.
And if you want a drive shaft i have a TII one for sale
But I'm not sure if it fits an NA or not

I check it a while ago in my school's shop my teacher everything seems to be ok.
I think whats rattling is the loose fuel filter. it's hitting the frame. I figured its that. I'm gonna try to mound it properly hopefully the quiets the problem.
Now to my next problem is the exhaust leak and that loose shifter...i need to buy the bushing for it.
Oh thanks for the help...

We have the same problems, but I don't think mine is the fuel pump. It is a much slower and metal bumping noise. I took it to a shop, and they didn't know what was wrong with it. So I'm on to My other problems (the above stated two of many)
