Removal Procedure

    Object Number: 105381 Size: SH

    Notice: Broken engine mountings can cause misalignment of certain drive-train components. Misalignment of drive-train components causes eventual destruction of the drive-train components.

    If one engine mount breaks, the rest of the engine mounts will have increased stress put on them. This could cause the rest of the engine mounts to break.

    Notice: When raising or supporting the engine for any reason, do not use a jack under the oil pan, any sheet metal, or the crankshaft pulley. Lifting the engine in an unapproved manner may cause component damage.

    Important: In order to prevent alignment problems do not replace the left and the right engine mounts at the same time. Replace in two separate service procedures.

  1. Disconnect both the battery negative cable from the batteries. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection in Engine Electrical.
  2. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
  3. Remove the starter mounting bolts. The wiring can remain on the starter.
  4. Secure the starter out of the way.

Installation Procedure

    Object Number: 565900 Size: SH
  1. Install the engine mount to the engine mount frame bracket.

    2. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

  2. Install the engine mount bolts.

    3. Tighten
    Tighten the engine mount bolts to 59 N·m (44 lb ft).
