Somethings wrong with the fan I think. It's almost like a dw when I'm parked or idling whatever. And when i hit the brakes and right before i come to a complete stop, there's this sound like something drops and hits something else. Its hard for me to describe. I'll try to record it next time I drive.

And i'll look into the mount bushings. Thanks much buddy!!!

A missfire is pretty easy to tell whether thats the problem or not. Does it feel like your car has a rhythmic jerking to it during acceleration under light throttle? Like, major hesitation?
