Dismounted Engine Mount

[BlackGenesis]

Have anyone had issues with their engine mount being out of place?
Also bolts chewed up as if wrong socket used...

Hmmm....I would probably jump on that (meaning get it looked at sooner than later..not literally ). One end of the bolts is not even in the mount at all and looks like it's been torqued pretty hard probably with the wrong size socket or just torqued too hard. It also means your entire motor is tilted.

Is it the right side? From my little experience with the mounts I have seen the right side go out on a couple of collision cars. Have a look to see if the rubber is broken. Have you hit anything hard with the front end? Honestly, it just looks like a Friday install at the factory. Looking at the picture it looks like the rubber is ok but hard to tell. If you have not touched it and your not inclined to fix it then just take it back to the dealer. I did a frame replacement on mine so I'm fairly familiar with the mounts. I ended up replacing my right side as well but for different reasons. Anyway, It's a fairly easy fix for the dealer and have him replace that bolt and check both mounts to see if any are cracked and ask for them to be replaced if they are. If one mount is not seated it will cause more movement in the engine and generally will crack the opposing mount after some time.

I just had a thought, from memory I'm pretty sure the rubber is bonded onto the bolt, so if you're not happy with the state of the bolt head (I wouldn't be) you might have to replace the entire mount. Anyway, good luck!

The bolt is not stripped. When the holder (the little tab coming off used to stop the bolt from rotating) is installed the corners are pressed down to retain the tab to the bolt.

Pictures posted above show left and right engine mount. Left engine mount bolt came up the braket and got hung up.
Both left and right side bolt heads are abit striped as if someone used impact gun with 16 sided socket (not enought contact area), nuts are fine.

Right side, which was seated correctly, was fairly lose . My guess is that both side were lose because of slippage on the socket.

I loosened up both sides, lifted engine untill I was able to push large washer on to the outside of the bracket and then lowered down onto into position. Torqued down well on both sides.

As far as mount, they are fine, enought flex in them.
Bolt is separate from mount. It goes thru cast aluminum tube that's molded into rubber .
