That one's pretty easy. With the cantilever design of the mount the downward force (weight of the engine) imparts a moment, putting the bolt in tension to one side. Under hard acceleration that tension direction switches directions on the driver's side, and increases on the passenger side.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
