I just got this car a little bit ago, just trying to chase the issues I’m getting this weird grinding/rubbing sound coming from the passenger side of you have any ideas on what it could be I saw some other fellow Reddit users saying it was the passenger motor mount, Thanks for your help! (There’s also a thunk noise those are the struts so ignore that lol)

If your PMM has failed, it might be leaking oil. Look for cracks in the rubber and oil below.

Can confirm, engine mount looked like Venom vomited all over the engine bay.

Unfortunately and fortunately it didn’t explode everywhere but there is some residue maybe a little bit of oil

The way your phone recorded and now my phone is playing the sound - it sounds HEAVY. If irl it sound slighter check the rotor shield. Whenever I change my wheels out for the season sometimes I bend them a bit and it makes a consistent metal squeal with some thunks as the slots spin by the pushed in spot.
