Hunting for that stupid noise 94 Corolla

[tlong831]

So i have this noise that I showed to my mechanic he says it's probally my motor mounts but he also said my passenger side axle has some movement..
noise basicly sounds like the axle just not as loud as when axles go bad and click click more dampened and only on light acceleration and sometimes on heavy acceleration but sometimes quiet

I have done searches and i have concluded that the passenger axle having about 1/2" of freeplay at the differential is ok... but i dont know if thats how much mine has could be a whole inch and here is the shocker

WHEN I move the axle in the morning I get a Squish noise and it sounds like AIR is Escaping from that joint. now what the hell does that mean??? that cant be normal can it?

also yes my axles boots are in good condition car is automatic 140k 1.6l 3spd

well the inner joints do go in and out and since theres grease and air in there, you can hear a squish sound.

ya that sucks though... sounds like my axle makes the noise.. or maybe it's motor mounts.

well one thing you can check for on the moto mounts is run the engine have the hod up, put the ebrake up and press the brake pedal. now put the car in reverse and drive keep youre foot on the brakes rev it a bit, if you see youre motor moving more thean an inch 1/2 or hear click clank click clank you probly need motor mounts
