Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Engine Mount Inspection
Important: It is the design intent of the torque axis mounting systems to allow more engine movement than other mounting systems. Do not replace any torque axis mounts for excessive engine movement. Replace them if damage exists on the mounts or rubber.
- Raise the engine enough to apply slight tension on the engine mount.
- Replace the engine mount if any of the following conditions exist:
- The hard rubber surface is covered with heat cracks.
- The rubber split through the center.
- Lower the engine.
- Verify the engine mount fastener torque. Refer to FASTENER TIGHTENING SPECIFICATIONS .
