In theory, yes, due to gyroscopic loads the rotors place on the engine structure and thus into the mountings.

But the gyro loads are quite insignificant compared to the control forces the pilot employs during normal maneuvers, and I doubt anyone ever notices.

PS - the engines available for the 757 are R-R and P&W, not GE.
