Got an OEM mount from k-tec, looks a bit different than the oem, 17 mm nuts instead of 16, thinner threads.
Overtightend the buttom nut that connects the mount to the chassis, the whole thread broke. Didn't go mad at all though , it is easy to snap.
Now the reason I replaced the mounts was a weird vibration noise when driving at less than 1k rpm and a loud bang noise when braking hard in any gear like something is breaking. All the other mounts are new OEM mounts. These symptoms didn't change after the replacement, leading me to think maybe the mount is slipping under heavy braking because nothing holds it except the weight of the engine.
So does it matter ? Or the engine and gearbox weight enough to hold it ?
