2011 Ford S-Max 2.2 tdci duratorq with auto gearbox (not powershift).
Had the front shocks changed and coincidentally now the cabin has a death rattle as soon as reverse is selected.
Filmed the engine and you can see a visible lurch when reverse is selected and gas applied.
Is this a classic sign of a failed engine mount(s)? There are 3 mounts in total, 2 above either side of the engine and 1 below connecting to the subframe.
I jacked up the engine slightly this morning on the gearbox side which reduced the cabin vibration when I selected reverse. Not sure how changing the shocks have led to this.
