Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think there is a LOT of weight on the front motor mounts or their small springs. I think the nut on the base of the front motor mount yoke is intended to pull the front of the motor down into place. If it is too high up, the door for the hand crank won't line up and allow you to use the crank. Also, my car had old repo springs that were too stiff. I replaced them with proper springs. The bad ones are ganged together and resemble a pair of bee-hives.
