N14 sentra engine mount, is it too worn?

The front engine mount on the sentra doesnt seem to be taking any weight, Is this a sign that it is too worn or are they only meant to take weight during deceleration!

I can tell its not taking weight because I can move it with my hands and it isnt solid. Bolt centre to centre is 55mm so if someone has a GA16de n14 pulsar/sentra in manual could you please measure this distance.

heres a picture of the mount:

As far as I know (someone will correct me of course) the front mount acts more like a shock absorber than a weight carrier, unless braking as you said.
Looks like its got a bit of life in it, but that hairline crack could get worse any time.

I dismantled that, and the brakes in case it was the low pad warning but couldn't find anything which could be contributing.

Ill keep hunting, trying to find clues

Sounds about right
Can you still rock the engine by the amount of slack in THAT mount,
If you can , then you probably have another mount worn.
THAT 1 looks about right as an over stress catcher sort of mount (can't remember thename for them)
