Engine Mount Strut Bracket Replacement Upper Radiator Support

1. Remove the engine mount strut(s) from the engine mount strut bracket(s) at the upper radiator support. Refer to Engine Mount Strut Replacement and/or Engine Mount Strut Replacement .



2. Remove the four bolts from the engine mount strut bracket to the upper radiator support.
3. Remove the engine mount strut bracket from the upper radiator support.

1. Position the engine mount strut bracket over the upper radiator support so the engine mount strut bracket and the engine mount strut are aligned. Align the engine mount strut bracket with the proper holes of the upper radiator support.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the four bolts through the engine mount strut bracket to the upper radiator support.

Tighten
Tighten the engine mount strut bracket bolts to 28 N·m (21 lb ft).




3. Install the engine mount strut(s) to the engine mount strut bracket(s) at the upper radiator support. Refer to Engine Mount Strut Replacement and/or Engine Mount Strut Replacement .
