Yep, had a similar problem. All of this can be traced back to those motor
mounts. My 84 was a vibromonster when I bought it, and the bad
rear/passenger side motor mounts had rattled just an amazing amount of
things loose. 

Make sure to check under the hood, too, if you've had bad mounts. I had
problems with broken/loose pivot bolts for both the compressor and
alternator which just got done giving me big headaches. Had to redrill the
pivots on the mounting brackets cause of busted bolts.

Vibration a baaad thing, unless you like that kinda stuff! :-)
