two parter..

had my car up on a lift today and noticed that the front subframe bushing bolts seemed a little loose. i mean maybe not loose but the rubber definatly was not torqued to a flat squish like most other rubber bushings i've observed.

they were black so pretty sure they're stock. is this normal? i figured maybe so since they werent loaded (on lift via frame not wheels)

and the second q, my intake bracket which accepts the ground strap seems to be the same as the other three brackets. i looked very carefully and all four are identical minus some paint chips here and there.

the car runs decent although it runs hot, which i think is a stubborn vaccume leak somewhere. (its been getting worse slowly over time). will the bracket pose a problem for me in the future?

the bolt itself isnt loose, bad wording on my part

the rubber bushing just isnt really compressed like i'd expect it to be.
