Lower Tourque (engine mount) arm bolt

Hey Guys,

Anyone ever have an issue with putting the lower engine mount back in?

I just did the clutch, and i only have those bolts left (2 of the same bolts).
(cars at work, didnt get to take pics)

it bolts up on the smaller part, but on the bigger rubber bit it goes in and then it keeps spinning into the nut, and does not fully go to the end.

My question is: is this common, perhaps the bolts are supposed to be different?

Cheers

I'm pretty sure the bolt on the bigger end is supposed to be longer.

Thats what i thought, I checked a bunch of the subframe bolts that I installed, but no luck

On ETK (RealOEM) it shows that there is 2 of the same bolts; P/N: 22116781285.

Since mine's already all apart, it's pretty easy to check these bolts, and yes, they are both the same. If you're having trouble installing them, try installing the big end first. Chances are the torque arm is twisted slightly, and the bolt isn't lining up with the mating nut. You might need to use a floor jack under the engine to allow it some movement --- for bolts to align correctly.
