Engine Mount Bracket Replacement

Removal Procedure

Caution

Ensure that the vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned. To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle on the opposite end from which the components are being removed.

1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2. Remove the right front road wheel.
3. Remove the right upper wheelhouse panel




4. Lower the vehicle enough to allow underhood access to the engine mount.
5. Remove the 2 engine mount-to-midrail bracket fasteners.




6. Place a floor jack under the engine oil pan. Use a block of wood between the oil pan and jack. Raise the powertrain just enough to unload the mount. The engine is raised enough when there is clearance between the mount and the midrail bracket.

Notice

If the engine mount front cover stud turns or comes out during nut removal, the stud must be fully installed prior to installing the mount and/or nut. Damage to the front cover may occur if the stud is driven with the nut and does not sufficiently engage the front cover threads.

7. Remove the 3 engine mount-to-front cover fasteners and remove the engine mount.




8. From the engine side of the bracket, remove the four bracket-to-midrail fasteners.
9. From the wheelhouse side of the bracket, remove the three bracket-to-midrail fasteners and remove the bracket.

Installation Procedure

1. Position the bracket to the midrail.
2. Hand start all 7 fasteners. Four fasteners will attach from the engine side of the bracket, and 3 fasteners will attach from the wheelhouse side of the bracket.

Notice

Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.

3. Tighten all the fasteners.
Tighten

Tighten the midrail bracket fasteners to 32 N·m (24 lb ft).






Notice

If the engine mount front cover stud turns or comes out during nut removal, the stud must be fully installed prior to installing the mount and/or nut. Damage to the front cover may occur if the stud is driven with the nut and does not sufficiently engage the front cover threads.

4. Position the engine mount to the front cover and install the NEW nuts.
Tighten

Tighten the engine mount-to-front cover nuts to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).






Notice

When lowering the powertrain, it will be necessary to guide the mount over the midrail bracket studs to prevent damage to the stud threads.

5. Lower the powertrain completely.
6. Install the NEW engine mount-to-midrail bracket nuts.
Tighten

Tighten the engine mount-to-midrail bracket nuts to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).






Caution

Ensure that the vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned. To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle on the opposite end from which the components are being removed.

7. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
8. Loosen the 2 engine strut bracket-to-cradle fasteners to remove any fore/aft preload from the engine strut.
9. Tighten the engine strut bracket-to-cradle nuts.
Tighten

Tighten the engine strut bracket-to-cradle nuts to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).





10. Install the upper wheelhouse panel.

Notice

Before installing wheels, remove rust or corrosion from wheel mounting surfaces and brake rotors/drums. Failure to do so can cause wheel nuts to loosen in service.

11. Position the right front wheel onto the hub.
12. Install the wheel nuts and tighten in a crisscross pattern. Repeat the tightening pattern to ensure torque is correct.
Tighten

Tighten the wheel nuts to 140 N·m (103 lb ft).

13. Lower the vehicle from the hoist.
