To replace a strut on a Pontiac Aztek, first, safely lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the wheel and brake components to access the strut assembly. Unbolt the strut from the knuckle and the top mount, then replace it with the new strut, ensuring all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reassemble the brake components, reinstall the wheel, and lower the vehicle.
That will mount fine on a 7" wheel...but and 8 would be better.
my guess is the lower motor mount
the torque mount is usually on the bottom front of the engine and it keeps the engine from shifting to much when switching gears
tire or wheel out of balance? broken mount on rear of transmission. I have seen where the threads for the bolts into the trans are ripped out.
You have to remove one bolt at bottom of front mount. Will look like a round sleeve. Easiest to get to through wheel well.

i would rather not...
The torque strut mount must come out along with the mount to remove the alternator
This is called torque steer. A small amount is normal in a front wheel drive car. If it is excessive, look for worn suspension parts, or a broken engine mount. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_steer
