Yeah, that was an even worse design.

I've seen all kinds of weird things. Chrysler Laser (but for some reason not
the Dodge Daytona) used to break the right front engine mount all the time,
and when the engine shifted on acceleration into a left turn it closed down
the throttle as everything moved around.

Also seen really bizarre problems caused by missing engine ground straps.
Runs great when the engine's in one position, but shift it a quarter of an
inch and whatever it was grounding through isn't touching anymore.
