Notice: Broken or deteriorated mounts can cause misalignment and destruction
of certain drive train components. When a single mount breaks, the remaining
mounts are subjected to abnormally high stresses.
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.
- Measure engine movement at the engine mounts in order to check
for damage to the rubber portions of the mount.
1.1. | Apply the park brake. |
1.3. | Firmly apply and hold the primary brakes. |
1.4. | Have an assistant stand to the side of the vehicle in order to
observe for engine movement. |
1.5. | Slightly load the engine and shift from drive to reverse a few
times. If engine movement is more than 24 mm (0.945 in) from
the at rest position, in either direction, check for loose engine mount or
mount bracket attachments. |
- If the engine mount and engine mount bracket bolt torque are to
specifications, check the condition of the engine mount.
- Replace the engine mount if any of the following conditions exist:
• | Heat check cracks cover the hard rubber surface. |
• | The rubber cushion is separated from the metal plate of the mount. |
• | There is a split through the rubber cushion. |
