Vibrations after Replacing Front Mount - Replace All Mounts?
#24
Removing the air intake duct only allows a VIEW of the rear motor mount for inspection and determination of damage. It does not allow enough access for replacement.
Replacement requires working from underneath vehicle to access rear mount lower bolts and connection to transmission. Intake manifold is not removed. I would estimate 3-5 hrs of steady work by DIY'r.
Check youtube for videos. I remember a good one, but I looked and could not locate.
Following may be slightly helpful.
good luck

You will find that space underneath is adequate to remove the mount, but it is awkward and tedious work laying on your back. Most of the time is consumed w/ the underneath work.
I also found the vacuum line to the mount would not release; difficult to reach and stuck, so I had to cut flush to remove the mount. The flush nipple on the mount is fragile also!

One question -- do the front and rear mounts actually support and of the the weight of the engine, or are they just torsional dampers?
When I replaced the front mount I didn't really have to support the engine ... I did push up on the engine maybe 1/8" just to make it easier to slide the main mount bolt in place, but that really wasn't necessary.
I'm thinking the rear is the same -- some small amount of weight on the mount, on the order of 1/8" compression, but otherwise not holding up the engine. Am I wrong on this?
Thanks. John

That channel got terminated and they must have just re-uploaded all their old videos on a new one.
From the video it looks like he has the car high and on 4 jackstands.
