The crossmember is only held on by 4 total bolts. 2 on each side (and from the factory, technically there are 2-bolts and 2-nuts as there is a threaded stud on both sides). I'd check your u-joints first when trying to identify the cluck you are talking about.

The trans mount on the cross member is probly shot. That's the four nuts in the middle. Tighten them up for now. Motor mounts could be going as well...
