    Check the swaybar link pins first. These are more common to wear the bushes than an engine mount going.

    You cannot really break the engine mounts - they normally just sag until the engine touches the K-frame.

    plus, if you shear the bolts, the engine would move

    another possibility is castor rod bushes

    probably the mount...as mentioned they sag and make a metallic rattle on hard/medium turns

    but the nature of these things means it could be any of the other causes too, do the mounts first then try the others
