The torque of the engine wants to lift the drivers side.
Your motor mounts are a clamshell type, so even if one is bad, it can't move far.

sounds like the converter may be locking up at low speeds. does the motor seem to be running ok?

yep motor runs the same, just did an oil change. i was harassing it then it started doing it. the way it sounds like the exhaust is hitting the body, when i looked, nothing was loose or out of place.

check that trans mount and see if it busted. make sure you torque bar bushing is ok too.

its hooked to the trans mount. theres a bushing in there that the torque bar goes into. the trans mount can look ok but be broken, unhook the trans mount and lift the trans up to make sure it stays in one piece.
