Note: Before replacing any engine mount due to suspected fluid loss, verify that the source of the fluid is the engine mount, not the engine or accessories.
- Install the engine support fixture. Refer to Engine Support Fixture .
- Raise the engine slightly and observe the engine mount. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
Raising the engine removes the weight from the engine mount and creates a slight tension on the rubber portion.
- Replace the engine mount if the engine mount exhibits any of the following conditions:
• | The hard rubber is covered with heat check cracks. |
• | The rubber is separated from the metal plate of the engine mount. |
• | The rubber is split through the center of the engine mount. |
• | The engine mount itself is leaking fluid. |
- For engine mount replacement, refer to Engine Mount Replacement .
