Uh, replace the broken front mount?

It is a fairly common issue.

Drop down the subframe to gain access.

Replace it and add a pinion snubber while you're there: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/pinion-snubber-diff-mount-replacement-convertible-876959/

Click the link. It's a bump stop placed over the nose of the diff, so when it tries to raise up under load, it instead presses against the stop. This combats the shearing forces that rip up the front diff mount.

You were warned once, you put another ad in the wrong board, you won't read the rules which tells you everything about when and where to put an ad and now, by your admission, you're trying to unload a car that is broken but didn't mention that in either "ad."

Seeya, we don't want yer junk.
