Default Engine mount problem(driver side).

There is a nut on the side of this "mount"(circled nut in orange) that is welded to the frame what has happened is the bolt is stripped. there are only a few threads left in it in which cause the engine to shake the car really badly when shifting or starting from/coming a stop i'm really not sure how I can fix this on my own the other mounts have probably taken a beating from the engine shaking so much so i'd like to replace this asap. any suggestions are very welcome !!!

the pic is not of my engine I don't have engine dampers

You should run a tap through the nut, and replace the bolt. If the nut is also stripped cutt off the nut and weld a new one on, or get a slightly longer bolt and put a nut on the end of it. If you use a longer bolt use a nut and bolt of the same thread pitch and diameter as the original.

that's what I was thinking was my only option, I can't get the bolt off my self as there is NO room to get a 19mm w/breaker bar in to snap the nut off. will try double bolting it up for now thx hadn't though of that don't really have the money to fork over to a garage to do this I don't think.

going to be hard to get a tap down there and cut it right, right as in straight

you could use a longer bolt and a nut on top of the stripped one to suck it together

that would take all of a couple minutes until you can do a correct repair via tap or break off the old nut

do you have solid poly lower engine mounts? like avid, hasport etc?

car will shake regardless with those

the most you can do without shaking is the energy reinforcement kit to stock mounts

all those solid aftermarket ones are vibration transmitters

I have some no name torque mounts for the time being they're a few months old. yes I know I t will vibrate the car pretty good, the exhaust vibrates the car even so i'm not worried about DD comforts lol. the issue I'm having is the car will actually shake when you shift it along with some other issues that have been pointed to excessive engine movement. I have no clue how old the current mounts in the car are they're OEM or OE repayment I can wiggle the engine if I grab the intake manifold with my hand so it's not pretty.

ok so I can't for the life of me move the engine back n fourth like I could before with the old mount(s) as of now I just have the pass+tranny one will do the rear when I have more time. so I have yet to test drive it as I need slightly longer bolts for the tranny side but will edit/update once test drive has been done. 70A would have gone with the 94A doe but wasn't in stock lol

okayyyyy so looks like the rear mount along with the front driver one starting to crap out was the issue. here's some pics of the mount and here is how I go about installing a rear mount lol, yes the head, rad and a WHOLE bunch of other stuff was removed. I have no clue how you would do this job other wise with just basic hand tools car is a 94 that did spend a bit of time in the light snow so there were some tough bolts. Can't wait to feel the difference of just NOT having a broken rear mount as that's the one that is most noticeable afaik.
