Yea a motor mount or the rear tranny mount is definitely the culprit. Actually for a long time the exhaust would bang on the cross member of the trans axle not sure what you would call it. So should i change the driver side motor mount and that rear tranny/engine mount? The u-joint and inner axle shaft is getting changed at the same time as well. Should I consider doing the valve cover gasket. It does seem like there is some sort of leak towards the back of the engine that could be from the valve cover..I wouldn't know where else it would be coming from.

I think its still an improvement over a cracked manifold. I would love to see the article. I know my cousin has built up a bunch of wranglers and works at my uncles shop and I even remember him saying get an atp header, for the price I think its pretty good too. I guess we will see when I get it on. I know it won't be some huge difference but I sure will be glad to quite it down on cold start up. As soon as I get the correct non damaged gasket, ill be going to my uncles to get it fixed.
Thanks again,

BUMP: Hoping for a little more feedback on my last two posts. Also maybe I'll start another thread. But all 4 doors have a problem with sticky locks. My passenger door didn't work forever. Took it apart and got it free'd up as best I could and got the door open. Still not that great. Anyone got any great fixes or parts kit that is available or something?
Thanks,

Also I thought I read about some clearence issues with the header? will this be a problem on my 96? My uncle is going to be fixing everything tomorrow.
Thank you,
