   definatly a mount? a misfire could also cause the movement.

   Id say the stabiliser on the bottom is the best bet mate

   I think most saxo's do this anyway? I replaced all mounts etc on my mk2 Vts and it still rocked a load. Maybe my engine was just fubered lol.

   its normally the lower one that will go as that takes most of the rocking buy a power flex for it there cheap enough
