Engine mount Squeaking.. ??

I have a creaking sound .. when I accelerate from a stop .. turning either right or left.. FOR 2 TO 3 YEARS NOW!

No one was able to help me locate this noise here.. ? It got better after I replaced my driveshaft center bearing AND later C-clip U-joint replacements for that driveshaft.. but never went away.. seems worse lately.. again.

Could this noise be from engine mount failure??? It seems like metal against metal .. creaking .. like high-torqued bolts holding metal parts together very tightly .. loosening enough to create a metal to metal CrEaK!?

I decided to replace the mounts out of frustration.. until I saw the price! Yikes!

HeLp!?

Thanks, Jim

P.S. Is there a way to specifically diagnose engine mount failure?
