Ok, so when I replaced my clutch the mechanic that helped me out forgot to tighten back down a bolt on the passenger side suspension. I'm not sure what part of the suspension the bolt attaches to, but it also appears to be connected to the motor itself. I didn't notice the bolt was gone till I heard it fall out driving down the road. After a visual inspection it appears that some sort of cover fell off as well, exposing with looks like a gear with a "Rubber-like" bushing in the center where the bolt would go. It is located between the steering arm and the drive shaft itself.

Now when I start my car the engine is vibrating while it warms up, or when it is above 2K rpms. Also, when i rev it at a dead stop the engine shudders which makes me think it has something to do with a motor mount or balancer???

Sorry for the crappy explaination but I have 4 pictures that may help identify the part. Any help explaining what is going on would be wonderful, it's driving like ----!

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I WANT TO IDENTIFY THIS SO I CAN FIX IT BEFORE IT GETS WORSE!!! THANKS SO MUCH!

Here are the pics, sorry for the multiple posts but it wouldn't let me post the pics which is the whole point!

In this picture there is a yellow arrow pointing to it, which is behind the "control arm? (I think)".


A better pic without the control arm in the way.


ANOTHER ONE, A BIT BLURRY BUT YOU GET THE IDEA...


In this pic arrow 1 is the other side of that peice that still has the bolt attached, and arrow 2 is the same as the first three pics, the spot where the bolt is missing from.

It looks like what you need is the lower torsion bar mount bolt or transmission mount bolt. Just take the second last picture you posted to the dealer and have them give you either a bolt, or the size of bolt you need so you can take it to a bolt and nut place so they can supply it for you. Just remember you will need at least a grade 8 bolt.

Get that bolt replaced though. Without it your engine will experience shaking like you've already have and some other possible adverse affects.
