Sounds like I have been doing it right intuitively.   I imagine that =
having them tight enough to minimize movement on braking also reduces =
the stress on the motor mount runners, that would otherwise be taking =
the strain.

Thanks for the response.

All you need to do is compress them a bit to make sure it is not loose.  =
Having some give is good to have (will prevent bending up the cross =

All I can say is that rear trans mount is important but sounds like if =

You don't how it is bent but should the car have been in a heavy shunt =
the only thing that holds the heavy engine and gearbox from going =
forward is the tie rod. If this part of the cross member is bent it =
