Well there is 3 motor mounts yes.

Engine to frame, tranny to frame, and the front of the engine to the frame. Not sure what you mean by torque. On the MTX there is a bobble strut, perhaps your refering to that.

My engine wobbles also alot, due to the rubber mounts and no bobble strut as I dropped an MTX in without the bobble.

I really wouldnt worry about it that much, there suppose to move.

But if its that bad, maybe go with solid motor mounts.

if you go with solid mounts no need for the bobble or mtx kmember

Did you replace the mounts or get the urethane inserts??

If you replaced them with the stock mounts: You will get some movement still because of the rubber in the mount...

If you used inserts: Make sure they are tight in there.. there shouldnt be too much movement.. but more noise in the cab
