It's a goner!
yup, dead...
As everyone has said, its just about useless now! Get yourself a CPe one! Also check up on what "duro" you think will be right for you!

That doesn't seem too good - did you use a torque wrench when tighetening?
I would probably take the mount back out and check out whats going on!
Did you view the install thread here?

The torque tightening, sequence are most important.
My was installed by my mechanic and he used Loctite and torqued to spec with small seating turn after torquing bolts and I have next to no vibes and has been in for almost 2 years now.
Take it out and check the subframe mount for a split.

I'm not crazy about reality, but it's still the only place to get a decent meal.........Groucho Marx
nope didnt use a torque wrench, thought it be alright if i tightened it slowly until it doesnt tight no more..
spoke to a few friend mechanics n they said probly have to spot weld it or theyl see what else they can do.
hopefully not replace the subframe.. big money and big job for a little mistake.. gg
Definitely have to use a torque wrench, especially with the REM. I've heard cases of people tightening them too much and have really bad vibrations in the car! They aren't cheap but just buy one next time, I even torque the wheels up to a specific amount so I don't **** the threads on the nuts.
Did you take the mount out and suss it out? Pictures?
not yet, had to go work shortly after .. but i do remeber as it was able to keep tightening clockwise that the top peice was moving with it so im assuming the nut attached to the subframe has been broken(welds have cracked cause over tightening)
yes definetly will purchase a torque wrench for these purposes..
what torque do u tighenen your wheels at?
I've got aftermarket wheel nuts - i can't remember off the top of my head but I have it written down in the car. Hopefully whatever has happened it's an easy fix.
Wheels I do to 110Nm
Rear Engine Mount you tighten to about 95.

Chances are you have just broken the nut off the sub frame, it shouldn't be too hard to fix but it will cost a little bit of money.
yeah i got it fixed. had to get it re threaded, repair cost me about $140. then easily put the duro 70.
have u guys got the problem that it gets a bit lose and u can hear a clunk or click as you down gear?
at first it felt fine then the evening i could hear a clonk or click down shifting.
saw on this forums i could use loctite, would this solve the problem?
