Engine mounts are not always very problematic, although when they are broken or worn out, it is necessary to replace them as soon as possible to avoid damages or wear to the other parts of the drive line. The mounts can be inspected by lifting the engine to take the weight off the mounts. The first step is to lift the car and place it on jackstands, then place a jack underneath the engine oil pan using a large block of wood between the jack head and the oil pan and lift up the engine high enough to take the strain off the mounts but not in the area of the drain plug. Check the mounts as to whether there are any cracks, hardened rubber, or are separating the metal plates, and the rubber will split along the center. Test the mounts of the engine and the frame by ensuring the mount plates do not move relative to each other with a large screwdriver or pry bar; in case they do, the engine should be lowered and the mount fasteners tightened. Rubber deterioration can be slowed down by applying rubber preservative. To replace, make sure that the vehicle is raised and positioned in a secure way, and the engine should be supported and in case of a splash shield, it should be removed. Install the radiator support panel in the service position, remove the rubber stopper on the torque rod and reinstall it when damaged. The torque rod can be unbolted at the front of the engine, in case it is required, and will be installed in the opposite deposit of the removal. In the case of driver and passenger side engine mounts, loosen the starter motor cables to the lower engine mount brackets, indicate the position of engine mount locating dowel to the aluminum engine mount bracket and unscrew and remove the left and right engine mount nuts. Position the front stabilizer bar by supporting it with a floor jack, unscrew and remove the bolts connecting the engine mount bracket in the proper order and drop the aluminum engine mount brackets with the support of the stabilizer bar to the ground in a manner that does not cause the rear subframe bolts to loosen and lose position, as this will cause the front wheel position to be out of alignment. Lastly, detach the engine mount on the bracket on the engine block, detach the mounting bracket on the side of the cylinder block (where needed) and reassemble the engine block using the same steps described earlier.
