Notice: Broken or deteriorated mounts can cause misalignment and eventually destroy certain drive train components. Also, when a single mount breaks, the remaining mountings are subjected to abnormally high stresses, which may lead to early wear and breakage.
Cushion-type mountings are used at both the front and the rear of the engine. Fastener tightening specifications for the engine cushion bolt, nuts, and all mounting hardware are shown in Fastener Tightening Specifications. Engine mountings should be inspected periodically and replaced if found damaged or deteriorated. Check the engine mounting brackets for cracks or elongated bolt holes. Replace the brackets if necessary. Check the mounting fasteners for the correct torque. Refer to Specifications. Inspect the rubber parts for deterioration and replace if needed.
