That's the passenger side mount. Unless you already replaced it, then
your exhaust is probably rubbing on something (stretched hangers).

To sum up a whole bunch of motor mount jobs in Nissans, with a lot of
custom stuff.

-NVH is almost always caused by a bad passenger side mount.

-Sloppiness is caused by bad torque mounts (front and rear to you and
me). (Jolting and jerking between off and on the gas.)

-I've never seen the drivers side mount fail unless the others were just
horribly bad.
