FD clunking noise at idle
Hey friends, my FD has a loud clunking noise at idle on the front right but it is not present when the car is driving, I can not see or feel any issues underneath the car. Any suggestions?

It's loud banging from the right front engine bay area when it's idling or moving slowly but is not there when the car is driving.

Could be a broken engine mount.
