2002 zx5 168k, I replaced this mount 6 or so months ago. I've had a vibration in the front that I recognized as a possible engine mount. Jacked up the car and started tapping around with a soft blow hammer. Tapped around this bolt and heard a different noise. I can turn the head by hand. It will not tighten down. So I must of applied to much torque last time.

Anyway, what's my course of action guys[smackbum] ? How do I correct my goof[???] ?

ew thats worse that what I did (as far as you cant just replace the part that got goofed up). I cracked the mount that it attaches to. I think im safe until I can get one tho.

hope you can get it rethreaded tho, I am not too knowledgable on doing that.

Well the hole was not stripped. I ran the tap through and went easy. I did buy a long bolt and worked out. Still have the vibration thou. I've replaced the p side and dog bone mounts, I ordered a new d side mount today. Hopefully that's it.
