00 eclipse engine question

[krindus]

i've got a 2000 eclipse, i4, and recently ran into some issues with it. While it's in drive and im stopped, sometimes (esp when the engine is cold) the engine will shake almost violently. took it to the shop and they told me it was a broken engine mount. they replaced it, ran fine for a day or so then started with the shakes again. So this is a multi-part question: has anyone ever had this happen? is it the engine mount? and will someone take a picture of their passwnger side engine mount and post it up here so i can look at it, mine has a threaded hole in the top that looks like it should have a bolt in it, which makes me think the guys at the shop are idiots... i'de appreciate any positive feedback i could get. Thanks.

Yes it is a mount and these so called mechanics often forget to tighten the bolts properly, so it probably backed its way out.
