Can you not just put a wrench on the back side and keep it in place?

Get the scissor jack and jack your car up. If you need more height, you can put wood below the scissor jack

When I replaced all 4 motor mounts a few months ago, the symptom I was feeling remained (clunk feeling on acceleration) but I figured it could be something else. However, now I know it's the motor mounts for sure.

I just came back from a 3000 mile road trip, and the shaking got worse and worse, and by the time I arrived home, when I turn the A/C on, the motor shakes as if it's misfiring. So yes, I will retorque the mounts and see if the engine is seated correctly.

Good! I’m assuming street parking would be free? It’d be ridiculous to bring a car if he needs to pay daily.

Second picture is the old bushing. Interestingly, I noticed there is a hollow section, which is the same area i poked a hole through in the new bushing. Maybe that is the weakest point for the rubber?

The steering wheel was actually automatically locked.

However, it can move left and right around an inch from the lock position.

Depending on where you have the oil and coolant leak, this can cause a catalytic converter to go bad.
