Default Motor Mount Causing Wobble at 50-60 mph?

I've been beating my head against the wall trying to diagnose my wobble. Today I found that my one of the driver side bolts was missing that secures the motor mount to the uni-body. Obviously it needs to be replaced, but could that be the cause of the shaking at or around 50-60 mph?

Thanks for any opinions and input.

There are many possible causes for wobbles. A bad motor mount (Or in your case one with a missing bolt) can definitely cause it.

Well cool. I've been through ever steering and suspension component and bushing twice. Everything seems to be in good shape and I have a new steering stabilizer which I know can mask issues but she rides the exact same with or without the stabilizer. So I'm hoping that's the cause of it. Thanks.

That'd be the next step. The motor mount needs to be fixed asap though. Bad motor mounts can do a lot of damage.
