Is this a failed engine mount symptom? 850 1995

Just noticed yesterday that from a stop, regardless of how gently I pull away there is a slight clunk felt in the steering wheel. No noise, doesn't happen any other time.

At first I thought loose steering rack but then considered at 93,000 the engine mounts might be going. By the way, it's not the upper mount. An IPD poly bushing lives there and there's no play.

I'll put the car on ramps over the weekend and look but thought I'd ask.

    A couple of weeks ago I noticed a similar clunk when starting from a stop. You might check the bolts holding the top mount to the engine block. One of the bolts had completely backed out! I gingerly hand tightened and then wrenched back in. No more clunk.
