Default Motor Mount Problem

I put in new OEM motor mounts and transmission mount in March. The right one is now torqued to the rear, see the picture. The left one looks OK. The only way that I can think of this to happen is for the whole engine/transmission is twisted somehow. I haven't inspected the transmission mount yet.


Looking for ideas. I went with OEM to keep down the vibration but since it is torqued, I have vibration.


This Jeep gets a workout on some pretty wretched roads.

Make sure the trans mount is still bolted securely to the aluminum housing above it.

I pulled the transmission mount all the way out and remounted it. It was tight.


Could I have a bent motor mount bracket?

Maybe a loose one?
