Steps
Support the engine and remove the torque rod
Park on level ground and support the engine from an approved point with a padded floor jack. Raise only enough to unload the upper torque rod, then remove its fasteners and set it aside.
Remove the engine mount
Disconnect the ground strap and remove the mount fasteners. Carefully lift the mount out while maintaining steady engine support, then remove the adjacent brace as needed.
Install the replacement mount
Reinstall the brace and start all fasteners by hand. Position the new mount, adjust engine height to align the holes, and tighten the mount and brace hardware to the vehicle specification.
Reinstall the torque rod
Refit the upper torque rod and tighten its fasteners to specification. Lower the jack slowly, confirm the mount remains seated, and reconnect the ground strap securely.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
