Well when ever I go over a bump it kinda sounds like there is something loose up front on the drivers side, its not really bad, idk what it feels like or sounds like if a motor mount is broken, could it be my shock?

you should be able to see the motor mounts with a flashlight might have to move the airbox to see the driver side if there bad it should be pretty visible just look at the rubber for cracking or big splits or broken metal otherwise maybe have someone else drive it while you walk next to it to find your mystery sound

One way of checking the integrity of the motor mount is to start the engine and have a helper rev the engine up while you look at the engine. If it is broken, the engine should rise up and down as the engine is reved.

has to be a very big bump to make the motor jump i would look more into sway bar bushing and all other suspension related components
