Number 11 or number 8?

Would like to know this as well.

Also, what is the visual sign that this is "shot"? I've gotten the same noises lately. For me, it's like a "shifting weight" feel/sound. I'd get the sound when backing out of a driveway and coming to a stop from that. Clunk. Then, when I'd drive forward to the end of my block and apply the brakes, clunk. It doesn't feel like the drivetrain -- it feels like a major weight shift from back to front or front to back is causing it. (I also do NOT experience any clunking during the course of normal driving/accelerating/braking.)

It was the one closest to the driver feet area. All the body mounts sit in a metal "cup" and that one's "cup" was extremely close to the frame. I put a small composite shim under the edge of it and backed out of the driveway a few times. Once I checked, the thin shim had been severely indented.

Plus, I just ripped apart the front end in order to install Rancho leveling suspension and replaced the hub bearings. All the ball joints were great and the only thing left is that body mount. The best deal I have found is this:
