Front lower mount discoed = damage?

Ok so Im under my car yesterday and noticed that my frount lower mount that attaches to the subframe(?) is missing its bolt. So Im curious, before I go freaking out on the last people that would have touched that............ I figure that there is no way in hell that bolt would be missing unless either 1.) it was not torqued properly or 2.) it was never put back in to begin with. Would you all agree?

Unless it just fell out recently Ive been driving it like this for probably 7k+ miles. Does anyone know if this would cause any damage to my drivetrain or anything else?

Basically what Im asking is "how pissed should I be"?

I don't think it's worth being pissed about. No damage done, just toss a new bolt in there.

+1 .... by time you checked this thread for an answer, you could've had a bolt back there. Unless the other bolt was loose also, you should be fine.

the bolt that goes through the mount? seems you would've noticed it missing when driving it, unless you have upgraded mounts all around.

smart *** remarks are what internet boards are all about. you should be ready for that when you post.

but among the insults there is plenty of good and useful information.
you have the answer to your question....even though out of 10 replies only 2 or so were useful....so no need for feeling hurt.

btw...LMAO @ "causing chaos"

This might be a perfect opp to go ahead and change the mount to a powerflex ($50) I noticed that shifting was a little better with mine. Of course downside is you get a little bit more vibration (due to polyeur. material) There is a really good write up here on the "how to section" Good mod.
