That annoying "gluk" - Part III : Post Strut Replacement

Its been a week since the front struts have been chanced. The "gluk" sound was sort of muffled during the first 2 days of driving. In order to make sure the springs and struts seat properly, I purposely drove over some bumpy roads to shake them in place =P

Now.. the "gluk" is still there. But it now sound more accurate. From inside the car it seems like its coming from the center and you can sort of feel it through the vibrations.

Could this be the failed engine mount??!?

Has the strut replacement helped pinpoint the source ?? 

So next on the list of suspects are the Engine Mounts. These are costly. I need to do more shopping first. So far I've been quoted RM590 to RM800+ for the X-Trail's mounts. And most of them don't keep stock. Bah!
