oooo ooo I think I have number 1 also. I believe the answer is "what is the passenger's side motor mount?".

where is it? - question # 3 - ha ha

also - can it be tightened or does it need to be replaced?

its in your engine bay ;)

and it needs to be replaced. As for locating them there are two on top.
1- under your air filter. you must remove the box to see it
2- behind the engine close to the egine wall( am i right on this one?)
3-4 are under the car, but i can't remember where right now

Driver Side: Under the air box
Passenger side: Under the coolant resevoir
Rear Tranny Mount: Under the drivers Side at the very bottom of the engine.

ok and the noises???????????

ok and the tires??????????????

The noises are the motormounts. (possibly)
The tires, buy new ones.

Your #1 noise is likely a cracked spring like I had. The crack happend within the first turn of the coils and hidden by a short rubber sleeve. I cant tell you if it is the first turn from the top or the bottom because I didn't work on the replacement. There is a TSB for it if I remember right.

Tires are tires... get a new pair or new 4some.

Get your minds out of the gutters, animals :D
