Reconnected lower rear torque mount / roll restrictor through-bolt that was falling out

I don't have much experience with car repair.

Woke up to a very dead 2018 Lincoln. It was the battery. Bought a new battery which turned out to be a heck of a chore in an mkx. I dropped a ratchet into the engine. I crawled underneath to see if I could pull it out. That's what I noticed this bolt sticking out. A little research, a jack and jack-stand, a 15mm wrench et voila.

Just another dull day.

I consider myself lucky with how this went.

You're lucky you found that when you did. If you hadn't, and the bolt fell out, it would have been disasterous... Or maybe not so bad at all?
Actually, I have no idea what that does. But well done nonetheless!

I'm glad you're maintenance kept your day and drive dull.
