look at the body of the strut where the piston goes into it. if its all wet or damp looking, the strut is bad. you can also take it for a short drive on a semi bumpy road and when you park the vehicle - feel the body of the strut to see if its noticeably hotter than the other struts. a clunking noise from that area can also be a bad motor mount.

What is the meaning of "Motor Mount"? Does the following link describe it?
