Engine mounts are usually not maintained but fractured or decayed engine mounts should be turned over without delay to avoid incurring or causing damages and wear to the parts of the driveline. In order to test the mounts, lift the engine to lift off some weight on the mounts. The first thing to do is to place the vehicle in jackstands, then place a jack under the engine
Oil Pan, with a large block of wood between it and the drain plug, but not underneath the drain plug. Take off the splash shield, under the engine, when there is one, and examine the mountings, whether there are any cracks, hardened rubber or disengagement between the mountings and the metal plates, and record the cracks. Test lateral motion between the mount plates and the engine or frame with one of a large screwdriver or pry bar; when lateral movement is detected, move the engine downward and install the mount fasteners. To replace, roll the engine, and take off the splash shield where present. Unscrew the bracket on the bottom of radiator support, and the torque rod on the front of the cylinder block. Change broken rubber stoppers of torque rod. Removing driver and passenger side engine mounts, make the parking brake, block the rear wheels, and lift the engine up. Get the front of the vehicle up on jackstands, take off the splash shield (where it exists), and take off starter motor cables off the lower engine mount brackets. Connect the locating dowel of the engine mount to the aluminum engine mount bracket, unscrew, and remove nut of left and right engine mounts. Lift the front suspension subframe using a floor jack, undo and take away the engine mount bracket bolts in the right sequence and also drop the aluminum engine mount bracket bolts using the stabilizer bar. Lastly, unbolt the mount bracket at the side of the cylinder block, and remove the upper engine mount nut, which is fixed to the block, and is installed in the same manner as it is removed.
