Welded Nut Inside Frame Broke Loose from Engine Mount

latinracer · Nov 29, 2016

I bought a replacement passenger side engine mount online and found out it didn't align correctly. It was almost stripping the thread. So i bought another engine mount locally and it align correctly. While installing the new mount on one of the bolt I heard a snap. It seems the welded nut inside of the frame broke loose and now the bolt just spins.

What are my options? Attach are the pictures. I can't get to the nut from underneath the frame from the fender since it's closed up. I drove the car and the engine doesn't vibrate and I hear no noise. Can a quick weld be a solution?

here is a quick video I took.

Yeah, just weld that end of the mount to the chassis... You can also tack the loose bolt's head onto the mount, since it's already stuck to its nut.

Thank you, took it to a auto shop and they said easiest thing would be a weld like you said. $30 out the door.
